Some news made yesterday by the provincial government shared Premier Scott Moe announcing the launch of a new 'SustainableSK' brand and website in order to highlight many of Saskatchewan's economic sustainability, and environmental stewardship achievements. 

You can check it out for yourself through the video below:

"Saskatchewan has some of the highest-quality and sustainably produced food, fuel, and fertilizer, that a growing world needs. The province's new SustainableSK.ca website, will help share our sustainability story with the world," Moe said. "In the areas of sustainable resources, environmental stewardship, community support, and clean energy Saskatchewan is rising to the challenge. I would encourage everyone to take a look. The numbers tell an impressive story."

The following points were also included in the Government release:

  • Saskatchewan is the global leader in potash production (30 per cent of global production) and Saskatchewan’s potash production emits 50 per cent less emissions of our global competitors.
  • If all oil producing countries in the world adopted environmental regulations similar to Saskatchewan's, greenhouse gas emissions would be cut by 25 per cent.
  • Saskatchewan producers sequester 12.8 million tonnes of carbon in their land due to zero till. That's the same as taking 2.78 million cars off the road every year. 
  • Saskatchewan's Enhanced Oil Recovery program has sequestered enough carbon to make 4.5 million homes energy neutral for an entire year.
