Environment

“Most animals don’t seem to get much pleasure from sex, compared with what humans do. Apparently nature has to offer a massive bribe to persuade humans have have children and tend them for two decades.…”

	Greenpeace	One of the first environmental action movements. I have been helping them since 1968. I can vouch they are good people. One thing you can do to help is put Greenpeace banners on your website. If you don’t like them, there are older ones too.

	David Suzuki	I have known the people at the David Suzkuki foundation, including David’s wife Tara, since 1961. I can vouch they are good people.

	Western Canada Wilderness Committee	I have known the people at at the WCWC since 1985. I can vouch they are good people. They work primarly to save BC’s old growth forests. You might consider sending them your $100 carbon reduction goverment giveaway cheque. You will problably get more carbon sequestered that way than any other way you could spend it.

“We think the deal itself [Kyoto] is simply bogus.”
~ Stephen Harper (born: 1959-04-30 age: 50) anti-environmental Prime Minister of Canada, Rafe Mair Show, CKNW Radio Vancouver, 2002-11-29
In a sense, Harper is correct. Kyoto is just a baby step, about 1/30 of the job. However, refusing to even start guarantees failure.
