You’re not done yet!

Luc Rensonnet — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 18:03:09 +0000

Let’s be honest: 2009 was a challenging year for greens around the world. After the by-election, most of us had high hopes for significant progress in Copenhagen, but our leaders failed to deliver anything significant.

It is pretty clear now that if we are to save our planet and our futures, it is the citizens of the World will need to stand up and take action. Here is an inspirational video from youths around the world.

Happy Holidays to all.

Wishing everyone an excellent – and green – 2010.

“Most Candidates debate” at Douglas College

Luc Rensonnet — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:46:18 +0000

Rebecca did a great job of answer questions at tonight’s “Most Candidates debate” (to coin Fin Donnelly’s line). As expected, Diana Dilworth (Conservative) did not attend. Shame on her!

The 3 candidates that did attend all competed for the “green” vote. Almost every question turned into three targeted messages on sustainability. Fantastic!

Plan for a Sustainable Future

This month’s edition of Scientific American lays out a plan for a Sustainable Future. How to get all energy from wind, water and solar power by 2030.

Inside, guys with all the smarts and credentials say that it can be done, should be done, and how it will be done. It was the first positive hit by “mainstream” media and folks in the US that what we greens have been talking about all along is doable with today’s technology, not tomorrow’s. Great articles.
