David Suzuki speaks on Force of Nature

On October 16, 2009, I had the very great privilege to listen to Dr. David Suzuki lecture at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto on Force of Nature. His message was very compelling.

I have been writing and speaking to urge people to make a difference in choosing green interior design. I believe that our small actions do make a difference and we should continue look for more opportunities to make our actions count. David told me to "do what you can do" when I briefly met him as he signed my copy of his autobiography.

Dr. Suzuki's message was that individual actions only buy us some limited time. We need to tackle these issues on a global scale and we need to act now! He urged the audience to demand that our political leaders take action on the crucial climate change summit in Copenhagen in December. Only our leaders can create the climate so that both "economy" and "ecology" can thrive!

Many people emailed to say that they went onto the David Suzuki Foundation website to sign the petition to ask the government to take action at the Climate Change Summit. It does not matter which political party is in power when we consider our health and the health of our planet. Dr. Suzuki says that we are air and air is us, and that all of our atoms are mingled with all of the atoms of air and of everyone who lives and who has ever lived on earth! There is no separation.
