The Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning (The Porter Commission), has some interesting figures about how much energy is used to put a gram of protein on our table. To take beef as an example, it was calculated how vmuch energy was needed to grow it, process it (slaughtering, butchering, and packaging), transport it, and cook it. It was found that beef requires about 4 times as much energy as chicken, and about 6 times as much as fish. Quite a difference! In fact, if every month we all replaced a pound of beef in our diet with a pound of fish, in a year Ontario would save about one million barrels of Oil. And we could save 200,000 barrels of oil in a year if we used the oven for an hour less every month for a year. Another million barrels could be saved by substituting a pound (in protein) of bread for a pound of beef. These substitutions Seem ridiculously easy and painless, considering the amount of energy saved. We could have a monthly Fish Day in Gananoque, or a provinceâ€"wide Fish Day. It could become a source of pride for a community to promote a little less oven use each month, in the knowledge that they were providing a better future for their sane and daughters. Conservation of energy can, and should be a source of pride and satisfaction for us all. I hOpe this article has shown the significance of conserving as we are consuming. cl ncan's 359-5660 a-m. ‘ pom.
