Climate change - too late - that horse has bolted and it' not coming back. As long as China is opening a coal fired thermal power station every 4 days we are going to remain in deep doo doo.

It's not all that bad, of course. There is a growing amount of community-level environmental action, particularly in this part of Canada, so things are moving ahead. To gain some perspective on our connection to environmental degradation, i recommend you see "Manufactured landscapes", a documentary film about the work of photographer Edward Burtynsky.

All the rhetoric was positive for the future but as the BBC says very little has changed for the good. I believe the if an individual wants to fight for the environment they need to do so.Small local initiatives can have widespread effect. Intelligent committed creative peolple are needed at ground level. i remember all the talk about SM when I was at Varsity and they were introducing the RM bill.

Travel writing I mean, not trying to save the planet. Leave that to Big Al and the UN. I'm sure they will have it sussed by the time you're back this way. You're right, live your life (caring for your world as you go), enjoy the journey. The destination will come soon enough.
