OnPoint: Sunlight Resistance, in reply to Katharine Moody,
I teach ethics to environmental science students at tertiary level. It’s amazing how few have been exposed to the subject.
I'm wondering how much it would cost to send everyone in New Zealand (or even just the ones who voted for Key (the "Trouble Clef') or his ilk, a copy of David Suzuki's brilliant The Sacred Balance
Every school kid should read it...
or at least watch..One of the quotes he uses that encapsulates the problem is:

...
We must convince each generation that they are transient passengers on this planet Earth. It does not belong to them. They are not free to doom generations yet unborn. They are not at liberty to erase humanity's past nor dim its future.
