The country is as vast in size, as it is diverse in it’s environmental policies and thought processes. On one hand, the province of British Columbia is competing quite well with California as far as government initiated environmental program developments. Yet on the other hand, most of the country turns a blind eye to the fact that the neighbouring province of Alberta is spewing more toxins into the environment than any place on the planet, with their Tar Sands oil projects.The conference itself is perhaps the most important in the history of mankind. The world is truly at a period in human existance that we face the sceptre of realizing the “point of no return” concerning the many environmental disasters looming on the horizon.
Considering the environmental “brainpower” that will be present with over 10,000 green entrepreneurs and government policy-makers at the event… who knows, there may be help for our poor exhausted planet after all.
Unfortunately, until “eco”-business learns how to wield power the same as “big” business, it may be next to impossible to make the tough choices that are necessary to make a difference.
