LNG Canada recently announced plans to build one of the worlds greenest facilities in Kitimat British Columbia.  The liquefied gas plant and marine terminal will be revolutionary in establishing the future norm for green facilities in the future.  This project will greatly benefit British Columbia, as 7500 jobs will be related to the construction of the plant as well as $94 million generated in municipal and regional taxes.  This number will drop to $15 million after the plant is completed.  While the short-term effects of this plant will be beneficial to northern communities, the long run will be even better.  LNG is proving to other energy companies that there are sustainable ways to construct and operate energy plants.  The plant LNG is planning to build will not have as large an impact on the environment as other plants.  This makes projects like this more appealing to a greater portion of the general public, who will now be able to enjoy the short run and long run benefits of resource development. The emphasis LNG place on sustainability shows they are caring about the community, who is a major stakeholder in these large energy projects.  With other companies wanting to pursue other resource related business activities in northern British Columbia, LNG is proving that with an emphasis on sustainability, people will be willing to listen and accept new ideas.  LNG is combining ethical and sustainable practices to better both the company and the community.
