How to Effectively Combat the Environmental Crisis and Global Warming - Step up! Speak up! Stand up! Be counted!

In order to effectively address the linked problems of the Environmental Crisis and Global Warming we do not really need complex and lucrative carbon trading markets, though they can help. We do not need burdensome regulations placed on people and organizations, whether private or public, although some regulation is required.

We need to reforest the Earth. We need to plant and nurture vast and enduring forests to sequester carbon dioxide and cool the planet. What could be cooler on a hot day than a walk in a mature forest? Forests cool the planet.

We need to produce our food close to where we live. We need to implement some alternative energy technologies and cut back on overall energy consumption. We need to learn to want and use less.

We need to stop destroying and compromising the eco-system with the weapons of war, the carelessness of manufacturing production and distribution, and the reckless infusion of pollutants into the atmosphere. Whether in war or movie making dark carbon based pollution is a threat to all life.

We need to stop poisoning our water, our soil, our air, our selves and all life on Planet Earth. We can all make a difference together.

This is NOT complicated. It requires informed and disciplined citizenship. This is what I am calling Canadians to embrace in order to secure our future health, our sovereignty and our economy - in order to deliver real Hope to our children and all people.

Step up! Speak up! Stand up! Be counted! Grasp the Vision and act! We can set an example and lead the world towards enduring hope.
