David Suzuki
Image
Every breath is a sacrament, an affirmation of our connection with all other living things, a renewal of our link with our ancestors and a contribution to generations yet to come. Our breath is a part of life's breath, the ocean of air that envelopes the earth.
David Suzuki
Image
Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it.
David Suzuki
Image
Conventional economics is a form of brain damage.
David Suzuki
Image
For the sake of our health, our children and grandchildren and even our economic well-being, we must make protecting the planet our top priority.
David Suzuki
Image
Even meeting Kyoto targets barely makes a dent in what we have to achieve.
David Suzuki
Image
Debating the best way to do something we shouldn't be doing in the first place is a sure way to end up in the wrong place.
David Suzuki
Image
Many scientists and economists also say putting a price on carbon through carbon taxes and/or cap-and-trade is necessary.
David Suzuki
Image
We humans have become dependent on plastic for a range of uses, from packaging to products. Reducing our use of plastic bags is an easy place to start getting our addiction under control.
