On Eating Local

Great post by Katie Gibbs on eating local; the difficulties and the benefits. Also check out all of Dave Bagler's blog. He's got some great stuff.

They're just birds, right?

Wendy Gordon from the states speaking up for birds and against the tar sands. Posted on huffpo.

About time. And Canadians should speak up too.

Awesome

Although I wish it wasn't necessary, I love seeing this kind of stuff.

Conservation is Conservative? Of course!

PHILIP ELLIOTT writing for the Associated Press (and reposted on the Huffington Post) quotes Jon Huntsman as believing that "Conservation is conservative."

In case you don't know, he's running for the Republican presidential nomination and Republicans (these days) tend not to acknowledge the value of conservation. Huntsman goes even further saying, "I also believe that science should be driving our discussions on climate change."

Bravo. He just upset a large portion of the people he's asking to nominate him but he's not afraid to stand behind what he believes.

I don't know what his other beliefs are but I definitely support this one.

Is Wi-Fi dangerous?

Great and very detailed piece by EMay on her concern about wi-fi and other forms of radiation we are all exposed to everyday.

Long story short: it's not the green party's top priority (not even close) but it's something that should continued to be studied. Pretending that there is absolutely zero reason to be concerned is reckless.

Have You Voted Yet?

Sorry to be a broken record but if you are under 30 and you are a member of the Green Party of Canada you NEED to vote. If you are having trouble voting, or you did not receive an email with your voting URL and instructions please email youth@greenparty.ca.
