Among the most critical problems facing planet earth are global
warming, toxic substances, population growth, and soil erosion. Julia
suggests that global warming, which sounds almost cozy, particularly in
Canada, should more appropriately be called climatic catastrophe. The
scale of this problem subsumes all others. In Canada, for example, the
carbon dioxide generated per capita is the second highest in the world.
We need to reduce our use of fossil fuels, take into account the real
long-range costs of our energy consumption, and make energy
efficiency the overriding objective in the design of everything from
household appliances to public transit.
