2 What is Climate Change? Climate change refers to any long-term change in the Earths climate and the increased variability of our daily weather patterns.

3 What Can We Do? Decrease the amount of GHG emissions into the atmosphere by: Reducing energy consumption Reducing energy consumption Becoming more energy-efficient Becoming more energy-efficient

4 Manitoba Hydro & Climate Change Committed to sustaining a diverse and healthy environment for Manitobans. Committed to keeping our average net emissions to 6% below 1990 levels over the period 1991 – 2012.

5 Power Smart & Climate Change Energy efficiency measures and improvements installed through Manitoba Hydros Power Smart programs reduce the amount of GHGs and other air polluting emissions from power generation.

6 Power Smart & Climate Change To date, 584 GW.h and 290 MW savings resulting from Power Smart program activity has provided GHG reductions of approximately 475,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions.

7 What Can YOU Do? Make your business Power Smart by incorporating energy efficient technologies in your commercial new construction or major renovations projects.
