This movie is delivered from the vantage point of 2055, a time in the future when the environmental problems facing the planet have amplified and reached a level of urgency never before experienced by the global community. It is a “scorching appeal for humans to avoid knowingly up-ending the earth’s climate”.

People are reflecting on their world and asking a multitude of questions.

How could they have let this happen, where were our world leaders, where were our politicians – the science was available, the signs were clear. What state of mind were they in, to face disaster and simply shrug it off?

The Earth is on a course to dramatic change in the near future. Most people think that this is a bad thing. Come and watch the movie – the argument for changing our course is compelling.            

 It will galvanize you into action!

Ottawa (January 28, 2009) - The Green Budget Coalition caucuses, comprising 20 of Canada’s leading environmental and conservation organizations, today released its response to the 2009 federal budget.

Nature Caucus

Members of the Green Budget Coalition (GBC) are deeply disappointed about the lack of new commitments to protect nature in the 2009 Federal budget, and its failure to capitalize on this opportunity to move Canada toward a green economy.  The GBC submitted budgetary recommendations for much needed funds for ocean conservation, protecting ecologically sensitive land and waterscapes from industrial activity, conserving biodiversity in national parks, national wildlife areas, marine protected areas and migratory bird sanctuaries, and protecting migratory birds.   Each of these areas has been completely ignored in this budget.
