No Throwing Stones

With environmentalist David Suzuki
stepping 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.'
