This is the biggest thing David Suzuki has ever done. Around the world, more than 110 nations recognize the right to live in a healthy environment, but not Canada. Together, we can change that: www.bluedot.ca/join-us

    Thanks for the link, Jennie F. I signed. Thank you, David Suzuki. We certainly are proud of you and all you do for this world!
  • I am a young teacher who has about a hundred students and their parents' facebooks, has shared this video in public on my facebook to upgrade their knowledge and show them the truth about my country's environment.

    I am very glad the David Suzuki Foundation is fighting for these issues. Thank you.

    You haven't failed David. Fighting against a government who only supports industry rather than working for its people is a war all of us are losing. We only fail when we give up or quit trying. Love to you. You are my hero.

    I support the Blue Dot tour because I believe in the fundamental right of all Earth beings to live in a safe and healthy environment!

    Thank you, David.  Your video, message and movement are strong and empowering.  Many of us in Georgina, Ontario, Canada are working hard to save provincially significant wetland from residential development, and are fighting a tough, but successful battle at the municipal, conservation authority and Provincial level.  It is in this spirit that we fight.  I will now share this message as far as I am able.
  • thank you all for what you've and you are doing ... I will share and try to do my best.

    I too am making changes. My first step was realizing that "local leaders" are only elected officials who are supposed to carry out the will of the People they represent. Corporations with deep pockets end up controlling them. If only the people would stand up and say; "Hey you are not doing your job, you are fired", regardless of terms of office, then you would have leaders who realize who they must listen to.

    Imagine that someone plants a sapling (small tree) in a pot and no one will ever touch it again except to water it. After many years, the tree has no more space to grow adequately in its pot and is sucking the earth dry of nutriments and water. The tree can't grow anymore and the soil can't sustain it. In consequence, his tree dies after 5 years. If the owner wanted it to grow into a giant tree, he would've needed a pot that would grow in size at the same rate that the tree would, which is impossible since pots do not grow. After this tree dies, the owner decides to start over. This time, he plants a sapling inside the very same pot. This time, he pays more attention to the tree. He does not only water it, but trims it's branches and wraps it in coils. The tree starts aging inside the pot without any issues whatsoever and eventually turns into a very detailed bonsai tree. This makes the owner realize that it's not the size of the tree that counts, but its complexity. All the fonctions of a full grown tree are in it except its size. The owner dies and leaves it to his son, giving him the secret to keeping the tree in the pot: Maintaining its size. -The tree is the human population -The pot is our planet  -The soil is our natural resources -The owner is the decisions we make So if you read my comparison right, you can clearly see that we as humans are not the problem. It is our population that is the problem. We are too many to inhabit this small planet and we are sapping it dry of ressources. We do not need an enormous amount of humans on this planet. All we need is our longevity and our current advances in medicine, science and technology. So if we humans are the problem, we humans need to stop breeding like rats since we are currently acting as a parasitical infection to this planet. The solution: It is imperative that we allow a maximum of 1 offspring per couple or none if possible. If we do not do so quick enough, our little pot won't be able to sustain us anymore. Just think about the positive impact this would have on us and our planet...
