Eco condos in Montreal???

Can anybody drop me a line to let me know where a gal can get an eco condo in Montreal?

They exist.. I’ve heard about them…I’ve seen stories. I’ve read reports…

Eco condos aren’t the new sasquatch or lochness monster are they?
Is it only in the Bermuda Triangle that they exist?

Has global warming affected the Bermuda Triangle? Is it becoming the Bermuda angle?

I’m being a smart ass today. Forgive me.

The vision of an enlightened society- My buddy Marc reminds me this is possible

The vision of an enlightened society is one which is completely uplifting to me. It generates a feeling of absolute levity… groundlessness… a connection to people that transcends that connection which has little chance to shine through in the routine 9-5 and then couch potato sunset world that I meander around in.

Ever so often I meet someone that completely reaffirms my faith in this enlightened society. This has happened when I crossed paths with Marc Stamos.

Someone brave enough to jump and leap into that uncomfortable place of not-knowing. Someone who is looking to include others. Seeking wisdom in everything rather than refuting for the sake of an argument.

I am fortunate to have met you, peaceful warrior. I want to thank you for being such a force in not only my cubicle space, but in the world which you so passionately care about.

If YOU were Prime Minister….

David Suzuki blitzed through these parts of Canada on his “If YOU were Prime Minister” tour, a campaign encouraging Canadians to vote for the environment and send a message to Ottawa.

Before you nay-sayers get your exhaust-pipes in a knot, this is a Carbon Neutral tour and a great deal of thought went into the planning of this campaign.

Suzuki, now 70 years old is SUPERHUMAN and is possibly one of Canada’s most powerful sources of energy. Let’s hope that the politicos will listen to the message that many Canadians have expressed- It’s time to focus on the environment and think about the future of this planet.

Oh and darn it if Raffi isn’t one of the coolest cats out there today…

Lighter Footstep – Kick off

A new website to take notice of is Lighter Footstep.

This site helps to inspire people to “learn to thrive in business and personal lives by making wiser choices. It all starts with conversation.”

“…a forum for the exchange of information and the growing of new goals and strategies.”

Just by rooting around on the site, I’m certain that this has the makings of something big and is one social network that I will be following and participating in…

Water Water Everywhere- but not a fish to fish…

Coming from the East Coast of Canada, I’ve experienced the decline of fish stocks for many years. People have protested, lobbied, complained, conducted studies and surveys but little change has been made to the methods used in plucking fish from the waters. Little consideration had been given to the future.

Last week, a news report was released warning that if we continue overfishing, there will not be any fish left in 50 years.

I caught a clip on The Hour a few nights ago featuring an interview with David Suzuki and as happy as I am to see move coverage given to environmental issues, citizens must be educated on how to make effective changes. Oh wait, yeah- the One Tonne Challenge was scrapped. I guess informing people of how to be effective in reducing pollution can be hazardous to the government’s health….
