David Suzuki’s Book Club and Copenhagen.
Did you know that the David Suzuki Foundation has recently started a book club? If you are interested in reading and discussing books that relate to our environment, here’s your chance. To get in on the action, you can sign up at http://www.davidsuzuki.org/BookClub/ The first book on the list is his very own, The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature.
You can also get in on the action on the book club’s Facebook page.
This comes at an opportune time. Firstly, David Suzuki recently won the honourary Right Livelihood Award for his “for his lifetime advocacy of the socially responsible use of science, and for his massive contribution to raising awareness about the perils of climate change and building public support for policies to address it”. They call him one of the “most brilliant scientists… of his generation.”
Further, in December world leaders are meeting in Copenhagen for a UN climate summit. The David Suzuki Foundation has been working to make a difference by encouraging people to give world leaders a wake up call that we want change. Today there was a news conference attended by Tim Flannery an Dale Marshall. They both believe Canada should take a positive role and lead the fight. I agree.
