Suzuki Gives Bee an 'A'

David Suzuki gives a thumbs up to the new Seinfeld film Bee Movie in today's Toronto Star. In real life, honey bee populations are declining quickly, forced out of their homes and hives. The animated film chronicles the problems brought about by the absence of bees, and touches on the importance of pollinators to the world's food supply.

Flying Makes Me Feel Bad

Mark Anderson takes sides on the latest “cause célèbre of the eco-set” today in the Ottawa Citizen. Although a “thriving mini-industry has sprung up offering carbon 'offsets,' a way to assuage guilt over corporate travel, without actually limiting flights” some (i.e. Suzuki Foundation) are concerned that purchasing carbon offsets won’t encourage companies to actually reduce air travel. As for Anderson? “I'm not willing to give up my upcoming Alberta fishing trip in the interest of environmentalism.” Fascinating. photo from www.nataliedee.com
