effect summer within a decade I have been listening with growing alarm to a program on Radio every Sunday at 11 am The pro grams name is Its A Matter Of Survival and the creator and editor of the program is David Suzuki He has brought together an international assortment of women and men most of them scientists who talk about the known facts and their subsequent mounting concerns about damaging changes to the environment The gist of their warnings is as follows The temperature of land and sea is rising in concert with the chemicals that create the greenhouse effect The last 10 years have been unusually hot at a time when cool temperatures were expected That part of the world that is needed to feed the growing population of the world is getting less and less rain Glaciers have been melting continuously for 150 years with the oceans rising and flooding coastal regions in analogy to rising temperatures All this means that we are facing huge difficulties in the next 30 years which will be the only time we have to turn things around The population of the world is growing quickly in particular in the so- called underdeveloped world Climate changes and the destruc tion of the ecology the cutting down of the rain forests in South America for instance will knock out the food sources of these non in dustrial countries with the result that their populations will stream into places like Canada in search of food and employment Will we have food and employment for them since we are at present so eagerly engaged in destroying the ecological base of our own coun try Are we setting our minds to the task Are we facing this bleak future with lively discussions and practical experiments to come up with nonpolluting sources of energy for instance to find ways out of the present impass Are we willing to change our lifestyles as we certainly must Or am I correct in sensing a hardening of the arteries in the North American population and consequently in North American business and in dustry An unwillingness to strike out in new directions The game that seems to occupy the en trepreneurial class instead is call ed Take Over a kind of piracy that creates no values no jobs no profits even except on paper At a time when the monstously monolithic systems of the East try laboriously to open up and establish smaller units of respon sibilities we seem to close things down in search of larger entities ever bigger corporations greater centralization with the goal to eliminate the competition That way lies decline and death Is it so hard to understand that we cant have economic welfare without a sound environment Growth that becomes cancerous endangers life We know that and we fear the cancer in the body the cancer that kills Are we unable or unwilling to detect the cancer that kills this planet the only abode we have in this alien universe Again and again this summer I went to the cultural centre in Georgetown to find some kind of answer to our dilemma in the pain tings of John A Hall the wise old painter from Newmarket ex hibited there They told me this If we fight nature we will destroy ourselves because nature is the very thing that supports us and we are part of it Before nature all our inventions and toys that make us so aggressive and proud are like nothing We can if we put our minds to it tame the technological beast born in two ter rible world wars and say with Ten nyson come my friendstis not too late to seek a newer world For information or tapes about Its A Matter Of Survival write to CBC Box 500 Station A Toron to
