Indeed, our opinions converge on most matters. My biggest (and other enviros as well) dilemma is how to we deal with out societal problems and climate change when scientists tell us we have mere few years to turn the tide around? How do we reduce emissions by 40% below 1990 levels in MERE TEN YEARS? Surely we can't do it by going about it as business as usual with token gestures. I don't know what the answer is, and there are probably many, which need to be employed in concert. But the urgency of the issue is truly devastating Your carbon footprint is admirable, and probably lower than mine. I admire your perseverance and genuine interest in doing your part Angela, thanks!

I fought hard for Save Our Rivers by spreading the word. I continue to investigate the BC Cancer Research establishment vis a vis environmental toxin research leading to removal of these to prevent cancer and the effects of environmental estrogen on both men and women. \nI will still argue for people to use their cars to get around in because I know many who must do so and I will defend their right and mine until we have door to door transit, robots to carry our stuff, and no rain, snow, cold or baking hot weather! I'm a 30 year member of the Billy Bishop Legion, joined when I was a teenager :) \nI happen to live in a more sustainable way than most; using far less water, little heating fuel, no hydro (solar panel), and drive less than 7,000 km a year. I live in a motor home on the ways and byways of our province. \n\nCheers, Angela Hi Peter:\nI actually agree with a lot you express on this website.
