One's thing's for sure; the short-term measure's taken today, are just creating the long-term problems of tomorrow.I think that includes everybody. Don't go for 'Harper- Bashing', call him, but don't 'bash' him, every Prime Minister has to answer to the money that backs them, and to get what you want you have to adopt the system that you catch 'more flies with honey than you do with vinnegar'.Actually you catch the most with 'sh!t' but, you know what mean.

To Amanda I like you analogy on the funding aspect of politics or follow the money. But what if individuals are sabotaging our efforts to address massive environmental impact. Expansion of the oil sands was approved with out an environmental assessment of their impact on the climate. There has to be a line where political and corporate leaders ...

Or using an economic accounting system that hides the gross domestic damage (GDD) that it inflicts on society and the environment. It boils down of Government Accounting Fraud (GAF) on a global scale.As well honey does not work on political and corporate criminals. Unless what works for them is cold hard cash or time in prisonUltimately if destabilising our planet’s climate is not a global environmental crime against humanity, what do our political and corporate leaders think it is?

Voicing concerns is NOT enough. Know your opponent, use strategies and tactics that they can associate with, use their weakness and strength (and greed) to make them do what needs to be done.

With Politicians, you have to make them see all the advantage to take a position. IF you only say that it is important and bla bla bla; they won't care at ... Read Moreall and pretend to listen; but if you make them understand that becoming the leader in clean energy, in eco research/development and in green technologies;that PROFITS can be made by exporting that knowledge and new technologies, helping the ECONOMY and thus garnishing their wallet: then at that point, they will listen and even run towards it; and you achieve the true goal: saving the environment and even going further.

is there 1 of him actually speaking to a person calling, and agreeing to changes?

All my life I've been educated about our planet by you Dr Suzuki.I give you my thanks

I am fossil,I am tree,I am fish so please help me!!!

Harper is a cunning politician, and will not risk loosing th backing of Alberta and the Tar Sands, which should be stopped

as ALL politicians: Lot's of talk, zero action.

John, if Al Gore is set to be a billionaire (and don't forget he did not choose to be born to very rich parents) he will share it with the planet.
As for banning Rock and Roll awhile back: come on!!!!!
He came to his senses 7/7/7!!
Live Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David and Al are my heroes!!... Read More
I will defend them.

Dear Peeps; I have an idea (!!!): Everyone gets photos around the globe of homeless (smiling and waving; to remind the world of Humanity; called, 'Waving Not Drowning!'); post all over www.webshots.com, with very specific Tags, (ie, WTF?! Why Am I Homeless?! WTO?! etc etc etc using all kinds and angl...es for the of co......urse, BC Olympics!) ... Read MoreEvery homeless person on this planet must be documented in this way! Nobody should be left out as Mandate.. The links (per image) will plug up the internet like nobody's business, then it will reindex and reindex; they'll never get it off *even if deleting the webshots website itself*. *Allow webshots the absolutely true honour too ~ get them on board! Get out the real message of BCs' 'Olympics; you now owe Canada that much; non?! Now Go! ~8)

Unfortunately, most of these decisions are out of the people's hands and in the hands of governments, most of whom do not represent their people. But I challenge each of you to try to eat a Hundred Mile Diet for one month. No food can be purchased that came from anywhere outside the 100 mile radius of your home. (No Triscuits (made in China)) You'... Read Morell be surprised how little info there is about where your food came from. Now, if successful or just for the challenge, try a plastic free diet for one week. (No Triscuits, they come in a plastic bag in that box)
GOOD LUCK. Change our ways and demand our suppliers to change and maybe there is hope

I totally agree with you Eliza, and change needs to come from the bottom up, so to speak. I like to think I'm a pretty conscientious consumer, but being more aware is never a bad thing. Perhaps, it's time to try this Hundred Mile diet.

The only worthwhile lawn is on a sport field... golf doesn't count

It's sad to think that many municipalities have by laws preventing residents from letting their lawns and gardens grow wild. We have a lot homes situated on land that was once woodland, wetland or peatland.
We all need to let our garden (the earth) grow.

Love to see it!

You are an interesting human being Mr. Suzuki, I have read alot of your books. I cannot wait for your movie! :)
