Over and over, we hear politicians say they can't spend our tax dollars on environmental protection when the economy is so fragile.

Some solutions are relatively simple and would provide economic benefits: implementing measures to conserve energy, putting a price on carbon through taxes and cap-and-trade and shifting from fossil fuels to clean and renewable energy sources.

We can no longer tolerate what's going on in Ottawa and Edmonton. What I would challenge you to do is to put a lot of effort into trying to see whether there's a legal way of throwing our so-called leaders into jail because what they're doing is a criminal act.

In the environmental movement, every time you lose a battle it's for good, but our victories always seem to be temporary and we keep fighting them over and over again.

Treaties, agreements and organizations to help settle disputes may be necessary, but they often favor the interests of business over citizens.

Feeding our energy appetite is top of mind for many people these days.

A baby nursing at a mother's breast... is an undeniable affirmation of our rootedness in nature.
