Save money and the planet at the same time!

Raymond Scholz — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 02:10:45 +0000

Electric cars, homes heated by the sun, hydro produced by the wind. All these things will become commonplace, if not in our lifetime then in our children’s. We’re definitely on the road to going green and it’s large projects like these that get a lot of attention. But there are green alternatives that you can use that will help save our planet and save you money, like green products for cleaning your house

Steps toward building a renewable future

Young Megan Miller of Saskatoon is not only my son Aidan’s cousin, but also won the Save The Planet Contest with this video. This is the kind of thing that gives me a lot of hope! The 11-year old wrote the script herself, but I think she had help from her dad in drinking the beer!

The opportunity before us

Raymond Scholz — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 21:57:07 +0000

The economic crisis that started in the United States has permeated most countries of the globe including Canada. Economic experts tell us it is likely to affect us for at least the next 3 to 5 years– more if we don’t react quickly and intelligently. We face a great challenge, but with every great challenge comes a great opportunity

Why reform Canada’s electoral system?

Raymond Scholz — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 19:49:26 +0000

When the Conservatives announced their budget on January 27th, it was a disappointment to those who wanted the government to lead us toward a green economy and future. The voices for environmental reform were no where loud enough or clear enough to mandate the Conservatives to consider the broader implications of their policies, and put Canadians and the environment first. Having a Green Party member sitting in the House of Commons would have made a marked difference, but because of our electoral system, the voices of Green supporters all over Canada are silenced in Ottawa

Perhaps we should hunt the whalers

Raymond Scholz — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:47:00 +0000

In this modern world, we understand more than ever how inter-connected everything is. Einstein once said, “Mankind will never know peace until his compassion extends to all living things.”

So it was with great sadness and anger and frustration that I first heard on CBC radio and the read in The Star, that the Japanese whaling fleet was off to the Antarctic to kill Humpbacks. This is an endangered species that was nearly driven to extinction and is supposed to be under international protection. To pretend that the slaughter has a “scientific” purpose is ludicrous. The CBC newscast reported that, as they were only to kill 50 animals, it wouldn’t have a major impact. That makes it better? As long as we view the natural world as something to be plundered, as something we are somehow removed from, we are in deep trouble. On this issue, Japan has elected to be the poster boy of human self-centred greed and short-sighted stupidity. Perhaps we should hunt the whalers, or those who profit from their grim work; I’m sure there are still enough of them as to not have a major impact.
