Kyoto 2.0 Cut Short

          With the talks in Durban, South Africa winding up, the nations of the world are walking out with their heads held high, a sense of job done. With nothing more then being far from the truth, we again fall witness to these hollow acts. The nations struggle to agree on what provisions are applicable, what is and what's not 'legally binding' and when to start it all. Though it is good to know that the nations of the world's smartest men and women can agree on some things, it still is only talk.

          The reason why these talks are so hollow, is because the voices behind those elected officials, are not speaking loud enough. In Canada, we have not demanded enough from our politicians to take the Environment into more consideration.

          We will only begin to see actual progress towards the Environment, when we all show it is a priority. So how can you help?
