The End of Growth Tour

I went to hear David Suzuki and Jeff Rubin speak at Hope House in Guelph on Tuesday night. As a person who is deeply concerned about the future of our world - the diminishing ability of our land, sea and air to sustain life as we know it - I wanted to hear about signs of change, something that would make me feel a bit more optimistic about the future.

Instead I came away with the sense that a huge crisis is looming, that the human desire for ever-improving life-styles and maximized short-term profits is going to be the undoing of the Earth's delicate balance, and our unsustainable way of life.
