David Suzuki on CBC's "The Current"

By October 13, 2008

Economic disasters. Environmental collapse. And a political class that prefers scare tactics to legitimate debate. It seems like we're in an intractable mess, but the world is changing for the better now.

Join David as he interviews the Canadians making good news for a change -cyclists creating new communities, economists who know that the environment is the economy, and scientists preserving Canada's songbird heritage.
