====>Click to hear "Fast Forward" 20 Nov 2006
Our entire culture is based on the buy now pay later idea. Why put off
having anything that you want or desire when you don’t have to pay a
cent until 2008? As a result, we live in a constant state of
indebtedness. Nowhere is that more evident than in how we treat our
environment.

====>Click to hear "Safe School Environments" 13 Nov 2006
When we talk about creating a safe environment for our children, the
things that immediately come to mind are clean air, safe drinking water,
and chemical-free places to grow, learn and play. But as the terrible
shootings at Dawson College, Platte Canyon High School and the Amish
schoolhouse so tragically demonstrated earlier this fall, we must learn
to re-define what it means to create a truly safe environment for our
children.

With Ontario’s municipal elections only a week away, garbage has once again become a burning issue - literally. According to survey conducted by Decima Research, 91 percent of Greater Toronto Area (GTA) residents favour garbage incineration.

====>Click to hear "KoreaCANDU" 23 Oct 2006
There is a direct connection between Canada’s CANDU nuclear reactors and Korea’s nuclear weapons test. In North Korea’s case, the plutonium (and the nuclear technology needed to build the bomb) came from Pakistan. Pakistan in turn got its plutonium and nuclear know-how from Canada.

Last week, GM announced that the Camaro, its newly redesigned muscle car, will hit the streets in 2009, just about the time that experts predict that global oil production will start to decline.
Since the Camaro isn't designed to meet everyone's driving needs, GM is currently aggressively marketing the H2, the smaller and more user-friendly cousin of the monster H1 Hummer, as an alternative to the family van.

As energy costs continue to escalate, energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important. While we all want to spend less on home utilities, most of us don't know where to begin.
The answer is clear. In the average home, heating and cooling costs account for at least 60% of your energy bill. An estimated 25% of all heat loss literally flies out the window

The internal, infernal, combustion engine, and the family car that it powers, has impacted our lives more than any other single invention. It's ubiquitous.
It's also destroying the planet. It's high time we made a stand and said, "I won't drive a car that isn't as smart, or as environmentally aware, or as creative as I am."

There comes a point, in every society, when it is time to either, lead, follow, or get the heck out of the way. For Ontario, Canada's most populous and powerful province, that time is now. At issue - how to power a province that will lose 80% of its generating capacity within the next 15 to 20 years.

global warming. So they began a seat-of-the-pants campaign that has
caught fire and is now expected to produce, on April 14, 2007, the
largest global warming demonstrations ever seen. OnEarth's George Black
