If they are not following their rights to save the environment they can spoil their life or what they can tell to their future generations. For example- if they are using more private vehicles instead of the public ones, then these is creating more pollution which directly affects the air and when they inhale that air this will affect their health and environment too like depletion in the ozone layer. The one thing is affecting the two things human life and the environment. They need to keep their surroundings clean and have to promote or to use the system of 3R`s that is reduce, reuse and recycle. So that Canadians can spend their life in clean and healthy

This foundation is how David Suzuki leaved his legacy, how he marks his legacy now, and how others will help him continue on his legacy. The foundation’s goal is to “find ways for society to live in balance with the natural world that does sustain us.” In order to accomplish this, they must achieve other sub-goals too. Protecting our climate, creating livable communities, establishing environmental rights and justice, transforming the economy, connecting with nature, and building community are all sub-goals that once achieved, will carry out their main
Transparency is another important aspect of the Games. According to a David Suzuki Foundation report-card on sustainability, VANOC provided information about its climate related initiatives through its annual sustainability reports, its website, and through effective communications with stakeholders. VANOC was quite open about some of the challenges it faced, including its limited budget for sustainability initiatives, and invited advice and ideas from outside the organization. VANOC published three sustainability reports till date, with two more planned, which is more than any previous Olympic organizing committee.The David Suzuki Foundation gave the Vancouver Olympics a bronze medal overall for its sustainability and environmental efforts (David Suzuki Foundation 2010).
The New Democratic Party promises to improve the environmental situation that we are currently living in. Our current environmental situation is very important to maintain, or even make better, because if we continue on this path of pollution and accumulating green house gases, then the Earth's atmosphere will no longer be sustainable and we risk losing our precious planet. The NDP says that they will attempt to get rid of coal-based electricity. "Coal emits more carbon per unit of energy than oil, and 80 percent more than natural gas." (Green Energy) It is a good thing that the NDP are taking steps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are omitted into the air to save the environment. The NDP promises to invest in the production of cars with low emission rates and develop mandatory vehicle emission standards that must be followed in Canada. This will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide omitted from cars, which is a big source of pollution in the world. If the vehicle emission standards are mandatory, people will be forced to follow the standards and will have no choice, therefore resulting in l...
Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Bonds, Ozzie Smith, and Tony Gwynn; What do they all have in common? They are all some of the most famous African-American baseball players to ever play in the Major Leagues. One man, though, made it possible for all of them to play in the Major Leagues. That man’s name is Jackie Robinson. Although Jackie Robinson faced many adversities throughout his lifetime, he persevered and became the first African-American in Major League Baseball, breaking the color barrier and changing the world of baseball forever.
Now, sustainable development and quality of life are crucial to the well being of our nation. Thus, I have pondered many a year on this very important matter and have consulted a very knowing Canadian of my acquaintance at the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The amount of natural resources in this country being usually reckoned infi...
“Fifty-six years...56 million memories in the making. Vin Scully is, and always will be, the “voice of heaven.” From Brooklyn to Los Angeles, father-to-son, grandparent-to-grandchild, Vin Scully has established himself as one of the most important figures in baseball history. He’s been considered the Babe Ruth of broadcasting - not too shabby. Remember...there was only one BABE RUTH.” These words were spoken in 2005 in a tribute by Lou Wasson, a sportscaster at KGET in Bakersfield honoring one of Fordham University’s most illustrious graduates, Vin Scully. (Wolfe 24) Vincent Edward Scully was born on November 29, 1927 in the Bronx, New York. His parents were Irish immigrants. (Smith
Jackie Robinson was also known as Jack Rossevelt Robinson. Jackie Robinson had very many struggles; Jackie was drafted and assigned to Fort Riley, Kansas, where he faced racial discrimination on a daily basis, he was the first African American in baseball, transformed the face of American sports forever, and his father abandoned the family when Jackie was an infant, and forced his mother and four older siblings to join the "Great Migration" of the time and move to California. Jackie was born on January 31, 1919. He was born into a family of sharecroppers in Cairo, Georgia. It is still said that he never "completely" knew his real father, but there are other stories to. Jackie's real father is also said to have left the family the same year he was born, 1919. About 3 months after his birth, he left to go to the Great Migration, and he never returned. At the same time as all that was going on, he was dealing with lots of racism and torture. The white men were a lot more educated than Jackie and other black men, yet black men were still very educated. All these struggles are just the ones in his early years, the struggles that are more known happen later when he becomes very well known by most whites, yet just because he was well known does not mean that they all liked him.
Canada; known for peacekeeping, multiculturalism and having one the largest ecological footprints in the world. What is an ecological footprint? The ecological footprint is a measurement of the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the activities in a person's daily life. One main source of greenhouse gas is burning fossil fuels. That includes the gas in a person's car and the coal burned at the power plant. Scientists have concluded that humans are producing more greenhouse gases than ever before. These gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing our planet to warm up and changing our climate. The ecological footprint, therefore, measures the amount of potential impact a person's daily life has on the environment. By reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by people's lifestyle, they can reduce the footprint and help slow climate change on Earth. Canadian's are starting to get accustomed to using a surplus amount of energy when it is never needed and throwing garbage on the ground because the trash can is too far away for them reach. Canadian's are also using up the little natural resources left on this planet for sustainability. Crops, oil, trees are being used so much, that there might not be enough for the future generations. Canada must realize that this is a situation that must be taken seriously and that must be executed properly by meeting the social, environmental and economical standpoints. To reduce the ecological footprint and to regain sustainability, there are many things Canadian's can do to change the current situation. Ecological footprints can be reduced by using alternative energy sources, reducing energy consumption and by using cleaner transport to reach destinations.
Mankind has existed for thousands of years and we have evolved to become better than past generations… or did we? We learned to evolve technologically to fight against each another. We learned to evolve intellectually to vote Donald Trump as the US president of 2016. We learn all these things that cause our own destruction, yet we don’t learn to care for the environment around us and respect it. In “Hidden Lessons” by David Suzuki, he explains how children are misguided by the negative views of nature of many people and how children are influenced to fear nature rather than embrace it. While I am not an environmental activist, I strongly agree with David Suzuki’s inner meaning of not just teaching “children to love and respect other life forms”
In 1990, David Suzuki Foundation was established, with David Suzuki being the co-founder. The David Suzuki Foundation focuses on 5 main points: making Canadians aware of how important the nature is, protecting natural systems, boosting up the economy, protecting our climate and helping the citizens to live a better and healthier life.

If I were the Prime Minister of Canada the environmental issue that I would focus on for the next five years is the biodiversity loss in Canada. Canada is the world’s second largest country in size, with 9.98 square kilometers and a population of 35 million people. A country that is so huge must also be rich in species? An estimated 14,000 species live in Canada, and only half have been identified. Canada is such a large country and so sparsely settled for the most part that it is very difficult to know and name every single species living in the country. This just gives you a glimpse of how naturally diverse the country really is.
