2. Energy Use Globally - Canada
One of the worlds largest producers and exporters of energy
US is Canada’s biggest customers
Canada’s biggest source of energy consumption is oil, followed by natural gas
In 2007 Canada produced 6.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas – 2nd largest producer in western hemisphere

3. Energy Use Globally - Canada
Integrated Community Energy Solutions
Proveds a more effective way to manage energy to the benefit of an entire community
Solutions they offer are: heating buildings and homes with waste from industry, situating buildings in a way to use solar energy, promotes walking & bike riding
Eco-energy retrofit-homes program – resulting in average heating bill savings of about $700/year

4. Energy Use Globally - Japan
In 1973 oil resource dependency was as high as 805
Realized how fragile they were and began efforts to change structures
Oil dependency has declined to 48%
Curbing their consumption they have been successfully work as an energy conservation oriented society

7. Change 5 Light Bulbs
5-60W light bulbs with 18W fluorescent saves the individual $40.00 a year in electric bills
It avoids 680 lbs of CO2 expelled into the atmosphere.
If 157,000 people made the change, $7.4 million per year would be saved as well as million lbs of CO2 would not be expelled into the atmosphere

8. Pros of using 18W fluorescent bulbs
they use 75% less energy
they produce 75% less heat
they last 5,000 to 10,000 hours versus the 1,000 hours from a regular light bulb

14. New Energy Policies
In June the American Clean Energy Leadership Act is up for a vote
Goal is that by 2021 consumption of renewable energy to be at 15%
If enacted the emission eliminated would compare with taking 45.3 million cars off the roads
