This Padlet page was created by an Advanced level EAP class at Niagara College. Students were asked to find and share an Infographic related to Renewable Energies. Subsequently, we had a class discussion and group debates on the various sources of energy of greatest interest to them. Students had a choice to keep, remove or change their name here.

It is also important to note that all infographics are hyperlinked to their source sites, and Padlet generates a clickable thumbnail.

Thank you for visiting our page!

While Kermit may argue that it's not easy being green, in Canada's environmental sector, it's easier than you may think.

If you love the environment and want to turn that passion into a job, then Canada's green jobs may be the place for you to start cultivating career.

In the environmental sector, you'll not only be able to get down and dirty with nature, you'll also get to work with people who share your interest in saving the planet. Studies reveal that 87% of Canada's environmental employees state that "a desire to improve the environment" is a key factor in their career decision.

The environmental field is growing and with 100,000 employees reaching retirement age in the next decade, there are numerous opportunities opening up for students and new grads. According to ECO Canada, 44% of environmental employers plan to hire new workers in the next two years either to augment their workforce or replace employees who leave.

Green jobs are currently concentrated in Ontario (32%) and Quebec (27%) with almost equal numbers in British Columbia (14%) and Alberta (12%).

Some statistics on how the world has used energy.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About 17% of our worldwide energy consumption comes from renewables. And that share has not increased in recent years.

However, in coming years, wind energy and solar energy will probably bring that share of renewables up. Though the possibilities vary a lot by country. For instance, Iceland is making use of its great geothermal potential while Norway is relying a lot on hydropower.

The following infographic looks at our portfolio of renewables and offers an overview of the share of renewables in the energy supply, country by country.

This is part 2 of a 2-part series. Have a look at part 1 for an overview of our total worldwide energy consumption in numbers, including fossil fuels.
