sustainability so far
GOAL:replace ~2/3s ofour natural gas use
energy sustainability so far
Providence’s renewable energy formula:
electricity + geothermal + biomass= #2 campus in Canada
#1: University of Northern British Columbia

for Providence• “The earth is the Lord’s”
Psalm 24
‐ we’re accountable‐ and so we’re making a start
Why?
Everyone will have their own reasons for sustainability.
‐ individuals‐ institutions‐ societies
• differing motivations are good• can still join in shared actions
Why?
