About Hope

"When evil people plot, good people must plan. When evil people shout ugly words of hatred, good people must commit themselves to the glories of love." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.



All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Winston Churchill


Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.
Abraham Lincoln

Green [R-]Evolution in all things



Imagine a Canada with sparkling and clean fresh waters from coast to coast to coast - for drinking, swimming, fishing, and for environmental renewal and with great forests to capture CO2 and cool the Earth.  

This is the legacy we want to leave for our children and generations of Canadians to follow.  This will be our example to the world and this will be Canadian Sustainability leadership in action.  

Together we can do this and profit in the process by creating new industries and opportunities.  Vision reveals opportunities!

This will all be part of - The David Suzuki Environmental Sustainability Act

* Fresh Water Renewal Program - Doctor David Schindler Recovery Plan - most precious resource - $10 million x 5 years

* Fresh Water Stewardship Bill - for renewal, caring, sharing.  Fresh water will be a key resource in this era - more valuable than gold or diamonds or oil - recovering this resource is critical for our security and economy. Canada possesses about 23% of the global fresh water supply and this is being threatened by pollutants with little potable water remaining at this point. It is our duty to preserve and protect this resource - to renew and restore it for human and economic reasons.

* Environmental Clean-up Incentive for the tar oil sands, and for mining, all kinds of extraction processes, agriculture, urbanization, et cetera [more opportunity for R&D and profit for Canadians and Canada based companies - incentives to sustainable industry]

* Environmental Sustainability Incentives Program  with Dr. David Schindler as Director

* National Fresh  Water Policy  - The Dr. David Schindler Act. - $20 million

* Renewal of Forests for Environmental Leadership & Major Forest Replanting and Renewal Program - Canada’s Boreal, rain forests and hardwood forests, Brazil’s Amazonian forest. etc.

* The Reforestation of the Earth Program with United Nations and Global First Nations collaboration

* Great Rivers Recovery Program - national and international with Partners in business and government

* Ground Water  Preservation and Safety Commission - water science serving Canada and Canadians

* Seed Diversity Guarantee Program and Seed Bank - towards Sustainable Crops
