David Suzuki

Last night Jenn and I went to hear David Suzuki speak at the University of Sydney. He was signing books before hand and I was able to jump in for a photo. This is the third time I have heard him speak live and his message was similar. We have a disconnect between our modern technological focussed society and the environment on which all life is based. He is a passionate speaker. In his old age, and without the editing of a polished tv program, he speaks with more anger and edge than on the CBC. He is a crusty old man, with a great head of hair. He holds nothing back in his distain for the "idiocy" of the Canadian and Australian government's poor environmental record. There were lots of "dams" and "hells" coming from him which I think the audience found refreshing.
