We are at a turning point in human civilization, one that requires moral leadership and generational responsibility.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That alone is a task
of heroic
magnitude, but
there’s an additional
complication: we
only get one shot.
We Are The Ones
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
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.
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.
This is what ‘going green’ is all about in Ontario…a movement enabled by the Green Energy & Economy Act and the Water Opportunities Act.This movement is
the calling of REpower Ontario
Here is Where the Current
Opportunities Are
But it’s more than jobs…the Green Economy is about….
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
Past Special Advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation for the White House Council on
Environmental Quality
Most of the jobs are in the early stage of development or brand new.
Some call the Green Economy the Wild West of the Career World.
It’s a rapidly
changing
landscape and
it is easy to
get
