Although a few nations are putting plans to combat global warming on the back burner while they weather the economic crisis, many more are holding fast, realizing that protecting the environment makes good economic sense. The European Union has stated that it is committed to meeting emissions targets even as some Eastern European countries…

rural roadside ditches=garbage dump?

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:17:00 +0000

My relative from Europe visited Canada in the 70's and at that time was impressed by how clean and organized our cities and roads were. He visited again earlier this year and was shocked to see how much garbage there is along the sides of our highways, in ditches and in our industrial parking lots.

Last year, I travelled and visited 22…

Carbon Tax Cost Dion the Election?

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:23:12 +0000

I've been watching the news these last few days after the election and they have been saying the same thing over and over again: the carbon tax is a tough sell and it cost Dion the election. This comment is disturbing because it suggests that any political leader who wants the job ought to avoid promising meaningful change in our greenhouse…

Now the real work begins

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:37:45 +0000

But the election results also made it clear that the majority of Canadians voted for a party that promised real action on environmental issues. We demanded real action on climate change, green energy, clean air and water.... the quality of life issues that unite all of us.

We are the majority and the government of Canada represents all of…

National Animal

The Canadian national animal should be changed from the beaver to the ostrich. Canadians elected a party that denies global warming so they too could pretend it presents no danger.

Common Ground Article

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:12:16 +0000

I just read Dr. Suzuki's article in Common Ground on the environment and the elections. People look to him for leadership and he refused to give it. He refused to give any information to help people decide, or to rank the parties by how effective their plans were. If anything, he made the Conservatives sound like the best possible choice.…

HELP!!! #3

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 11:52:57 +0000

I must be dense. I've read almost everything I can get my hands on around the various "solutions" our politicians have to the impact we humans are having on the environment, and I just don't get it.

I've come to the conclusion that in order to stop global warming, we are going to have to stop burning fossil fuels.....not slow down, reduce,…
