David Suzuki Foundation

David Suzuki, works with government, business and individuals to conserve our environment by providing science-based research, education and policy work, and acting as a catalyst for the change that today's situation demands,

David Suzuki may be 79 but his passion to the environment is above anyone else. Today David Suzuki still continues to create a huge impact as a person, Suzuki is the co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation and today he still continues to run it and make a difference. Suzuki still makes posts on twitter giving helpful tips and tips on how us as individuals can help stop climate change, and other problems the environment faces. Currently his foundation is working on five different projects to; they include trying to stop climate change, stop hazardous environment that cause health problems, keep oceans well managed and protected, protect our wildlife, and protect water systems like rivers that are used for water. Recently in David Suzuki talked about solar energy and why we don’t use it, ”Every hour, the sun bathes the Earth with enough energy to supply our needs for more than a year. There's no reason we can't harness more of it to cut back on polluting, climate-altering fossil fuels.” This quote shows David Suzuki’s work and how he still continues to make a difference today in trying to help the environment and our safety. This shows why David Suzuki is a historically significant

Same as photographers previously mentioned, van Waarden “believes in the power of photography to make a difference. He believes that through documentation of the social and natural world we can shift the world towards a more sustainable future” (van Waarden, n.d.). His photos portray people affected by climate change because “we need to see the impacts that we are having on the world and that everyone needs to be informed to make the right decisions. …We need to understand that the environment is not separate from us and the impacts that we have today will impact future generations for years to come” (van Waarden, personal communication, February 2, 2011). For example, vanWaarden’s photo essays Along the Pipeline and The Stories TransCanada is Afraid You’ll See show real people and communities living along the pipeline to counter TransCanada’s propaganda and efforts to silence their voices and opinions (van Waarden, 2014). According to vanWaarden, “The work I do has focused a lot on helping to build a climate change movement and this is very important work and will be the key to solving this problem” (personal communication, February

The most important thing to know about the DND’s Environment Department is that it lacks funding because, when it comes to the Canadian Government, it is not of main concern. The Canadian Government is focused too much on short term issues and not focused enough on long term issues such as

David Takayoshi Suzuki is one of the most famous Canadian in the world. He is a geneticist, broadcaster, environmental activist, and Co-Founder of the David Suzuki Foundation. His study has affected and helped to develop our lives. He has still published his articles online and warned people to keep our sustainable environments. His life is stormy and full of drama because of his race and the World War II.

1.) What is one definition of culture from the sheet "What is Culture?" and what was an illustration/example of this definition that you found in the video?

A highway patrol officer in Ohio is being hailed as a hero. He saved the life of a truck driver after his semi-truck crashed. The officer's name is John Devers. There is a dash cam video that captured the accident, and the aftermath of it.

After watching this video, I feel like the United States has a long way to go before it can be called a “Healthy Nation.” In fact, getting people to lose weight is more difficult than getting them to quit smoking. Heart Disease is the number one killer in the U.S. and I feel that this is due to unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. 68.5% of the adult population is either overweight or obese, thankfully I am not in that category. I feel like public health is doing the best it can in preventing diseases, prolonging life, and educating personal hygiene. However, promoting physical health, environmental control, and adequate living places needs improving. Personal health is something we value, it’s related to the intrapersonal component of the

The Graeters video relates to what we have learned about business and change by showing us that change within a business is virtually inevitable. As times change and technology becomes more apparent, business must also change or use valuable resources to become more efficient to keep up with, or become more successful than the surrounding competition. Graeters experience with change was a bit different than that of other companies. Before technological innovations brought about the refrigerator and modern ice cream machines ice cream was a delicacy, it was something people couldn’t get every day or whenever they desired. In the times after though, many companies began to mass produce ice cream making thousands of gallons per day. Graeters

In the video “Paper Tigers” that stood out to me was the authentic tears and emotions by the students. For example, describing being sexual assaulted. The student had such a sense of sadness and hurt that I have seen in many of the young ladies that I come into contact with. Also, the statements, “they cared about me as an individual”, “These are good people why wouldn’t I listen to them”, “building relationships first” and, “The behavior might be out their control”.

This speech was given in the UN, to tell adults and people all around the world to change their ways of living, save the countless animals dying across the world because they have nowhere left to go, children who are in a poverty and dying from hunger and the next generation that is still yet to come. Severn Suzuki describes the ethos by telling people's her own personal story which claims that the “animals are in danger they are slowly getting extinct”. She is not only speaking for herself and the people who are sitting there, she is speaking for all the people who are living all around the world, present generation and the next generation. She also appeals to pathos by striking straight to the emotions and admitting with all the people who are there “Here you maybe delegates of your government, Business people, organizers, journalist or politicians, but really your mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles and all of you are someone’s child”.

What stood up to me in the video was how really internet is a tool that connects us all physically, as the journalist Andrew Blum reported on Ted, and personally witnessed the process of installing fiber-optic cable under the sea in Africa. First, the cable was inside floating buoys, then someone cut them and the cable dropped under the sea. Engineers then connected the cable to other cable in another place, under the ground, and forget about

This video of Bobby McFerrin clearly stunned me, all he had to do was teach the audience just once the note and then based on his moments the audience could sing the notes on their own without any guidance, and not only that, the audience also knew the tune to the parts he did not mention and that was the most amazing sight I have ever come across. This shows the beauty of music has reached to heights that anyone can be a musicians and make beautiful songs and tunes, just like how Bobby McFerrin did so. This clearly shows the true power of Music and how it can be used in many beautiful

For Video Reflection Paper Two, I decieded to watch and write about “Paradise Bent”. “Paradise Bent” follows Heather Croall learning about the Fa’afaine’s of Somoa everyday life, past, and place in their culture. Fa’afaine are Somoan boys who are brought up as girls, and act as girls in everyday Samoan life.

Throughout his presentation, Hans Rosling shows that the rich and wealthy release the most carbon emissions, but they are often the ones telling Africa or another developing country they shouldn't begin using fossil fuels and other technology because it's hurting the environment. Rosling claims that the rich end look down at the "poor" people and say, "You cannot live like us, you will destroy the planet." Technology, however, is key to progressing out of poverty and developing. As shown in his graphs, the wealthy release the most emissions, but shake their finger at developing countries that are starting to use technology and/or burn fossil fuels. An example used in the video is Africa and the coal available to them to provide warmth and light.
