Lunch & Learn: 50 by ’30 | 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m.
50 by ’30 will present on its vision to generate 50 per cent of the energy consumed in Manitoba from renewable sources by 2030 without increasing global greenhouse gases.
Through the implementation of the “Green Plan”, 50 by ‘30 hopes to:

• Grow Manitoba’s green business sector
• Reduce Manitoba’s environmental footprint
• Build individual, corporate, and community capacity to design and implement green projects
• Encourage widespread public support and involvement

Daniel Friesen, leader of the 50 by ’30 initiative, will present on Manitoba’s current energy situation, what can be done to achieve 50 by ’30, and some practical things organizations can do to help.
