No Throwing Stones
With environmentalist David Suzukistepping out of the spotlight, (one of my all time favourite people - someone I would be HONOURED to have supper with & my personal hero – having been raised on Suzuki via my father’s influence…), I am happy to see
that North Bay and Calgary have been mentioned in the news recently for their efforts for creating energy efficient homes. Even last night’s news featured 
more and more green roofs going up in Toronto, something I had originally heard of from my all time favourite shopping store MEC. Suzuki’s farewell remarks brilliantly put things into perspective:
'I feel like we are in a giant car heading for a brick wall at 100 miles an hour and everyone in the car is arguing where they want to sit. For God's sake, someone has to say put the brakes on and turn the wheel.'

I hear it is a disturbing yet eye opening look at the state of things. Back when I was young and thought i might have money one day, we dreamed of a solar home....
crse - Not sure what the ROE is, but what I heard on the news was a 10% increase on the build. I wonder how accurate that is. I'm still in the learning curve on this one.
I want to see that movie, too. And no one wanted to go with me when it was out. Shall we rent it together, and possible enjoy some wine?
canada - I don't recall getting that invitation to go see it with you when it was out. :-P
I'm hurt.
My feelings need validation.
You may grovel anytime now. Gifts work.
You were on the "eh, either way" train for that movie! I don't rememeber who came with us, but it was more than just you and me.
We'll rent it.
okay, and the word veri is making me laugh: IYFKUMS
*sniff-sniff*
Hm? What's that smell?
Ooooh, it's that heaping pile of CRAP namely called your "invitation"!!!
As IF I'd turn down an environmental movie! (with YOU)
Sheesh! Waddaya take me for some kind of flake er sumpin?
K - we'll rent it, YOU PAY.
That's my final offer.
