We are at a turning point in human civilization, one that requires moral leadership and generational responsibility.

Page 7: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

To build the future we need a generation of everyday

heroes, people who – whatever their walks of life – have the courage to think in fresh ways and to act to meet our planetary crisis

head on.

Page 8: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

We Are The Ones

Responding to this crisis has to recognize that today’s youth want prosperity. …A huge chunk of our fellow human beings are young, and ambitious for better lives – and they are going to try and get it no matter what we do.

We need a 21st Century form of prosperity for all who inhabit our

planet. The future

needs to be bright, green

and freely available to all.

Page 10: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

We need, in the next twenty-five years or so, to do something never before done .

Renewable Energy

Biomimicry

We need to consciously

redesign the entire material basis of our civilization.

Page 11: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

We must offer a 21st century form of prosperity that is dramatically more

ecologically sustainable and not only functions in areas of chaos and corruption, but also helps transform

them.

Page 12: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

That alone is a task

of heroic

magnitude, but

there’s an additional

complication: we

only get one shot.

We Are The Ones

Page 13: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

Change takes time,

and time is what

we don’t have a lot

of . . . Fail to act

boldly enough and

we may fail

completely.

But the promise of the future is a compelling one

We Are The Ones

Page 15: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

Yes We Can We don’t have to destroy the planet or

impoverish other people to live well.

We can save $ and energy.

We can live in close-knit communities, cut down our commutes and spend more time with friends and family.

If we earn extra $ we can invest in companies with smart solutions and often pocket a nice dividend cheque.

We can create lives that are so easy on the planet, exploit no-one and leave us happier and better off.

We can change the world and create healthy prosperity.

Page 16: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

We need a movement to win the race.

We need millions of people who are committed to doing their part to embrace good ideas, find new solutions in their own work, and live and share what they learn.

Opportunities Are

Page 19: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

But it’s more than jobs…the Green Economy is about….

Page 20: Repower Ontario - Navigation and Transformation in the Green Economy

It’s also about rethinking the way we work

We have the chance now to create new markets, new technologies,

new industries, and a new workforce. Let’s do it right – with good wages, equal opportunity,

and pathways to success for those whom pollution-based economy

has left behind.Van Jones

Some call the Green Economy the Wild West of the Career World.
