  disappointing

  I was at the Toronto rally and was disappointed by the turnout. I think the rally could have been better publicized. This was a far cry from the masses that demonstrated in Toronto against the Iraq war in 2003

  The good news is the rally got excellent press, and the coverage is positive. Keep up the good work!On Thousands of protesters in over 50 cities call for climate action, now posted 1 year, 11 months ago 2 Responses

  I think that Europe's main point is that screwing around with an ecosystem in an irreversible way is a bad idea. The benefits and complete safety of this technology have not been adequately proven, and there are some studies cited in the NYT article suggesting the GMOs could have a negative impact on ecosystems

  As the old saying goes, never bet more than you can afford to lose. Even if there is a low probability of harm, the potential harm is great and irreversible.

  Nice to see a place where politicians aren't in the pocket of big business.

  We usually post Christmas boughs - branch cuttings tied up with ribbons on our front porch. Very festive looking, much less work than decorating a big tree with plastic Chinese made ornaments.On On organic Christmas trees posted 1 year, 11 months ago 20 Responses

  puts Steven Harper to shame

  Here in Canada, the government intends to renege on the Kyoto Accord. The government is cutting climate change abatement programs.

  What's needed is strong efforts to employ current technology backed by regulation, not bogus 'intensity based' garbage.
