Ontario should move toward a 100% renewal energy plan.  This should apply not only to energy production but also the types of products approved and sold in the Province.

Oil/gas based motors for all vehicles (boats, cars, trucks, buses, trains)  should be quickly phased out.

High efficiency criteria should be adopted for all appliances, equipment,

Move away from a throw-away economy and require companies take back and refurbish/recycle their products.

Province should support community-based energy projects in dense communities (for example geo-thermal, solar).  Reliance solely on individual households to undertake projects is detrimental to wide-spread application.

Use of earth's limited resources should be respected.  Province and municipalities need to protect and retrofit older buildings  not tear them down.  Aggregates should be recycled not continually mined.

100% renewal energy commitment needs to expand to include sustainable, organic farming.  Phase out the use of pesticides, herbicides, and 'artificial' fertilizers.  Redirect all agricultural subsidies to sustainable organic farming.
