David Suzuki
Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighbourhoods.
David Suzuki

David Suzuki
Conventional economics is a form of brain damage.
David Suzuki
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
Doing all we can to combat climate change comes with numerous benefits, from reducing pollution and associated health care costs to strengthening and diversifying the economy by shifting to renewable energy, among other measures.
