David Suzuki Checks out #OccupyMontreal

David Suzuki is interviewed on the streets of Montreal during Occupy Montreal, an off-shoot protest from Occupy Wall Street. His passion about the current economic injustices is worn right on his sleeve. The ever-inspiring activist.

David Suzuki in Seattle

"Presented by People for Puget Sound, Dr. David Suzuki, the highly regarded author of over forty books, scientist, and host of CBC Television's The Nature of Things, was back in Seattle addressing the subject matter of his latest book co-authored with Dave Robert Taylor, The Big Picture: Reflections on Science, Humanity, and a Quickly Changing Planet. Suzuki details what real change entails and what must be done to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st Century."

David Suzuki On The Hour

Dovetailing with the publication of David Suzuki's Green Guide and The Hour's Million Acts of Green campaign, the one and only David Suzuki himself sat down with host George Stroumboulopoulos to chat about the book, the pressures of being the most well known environmentalist and underwear from the Gap. Suzuki shares what his act of green will be and we see some great photos of him as a young lab technician/70s hippie. Not to be missed.

Visit the CBC Archives to find several gems featuring David Suzuki. In both video and audio clips, David Suzuki talks about the interconnectedness of life and shares the revelation that "we're all fruit flies," he denounces an academic's superior race theory, and he expresses his gratitude toward his father who advised, "Be a good dancer and a good speaker."

The Suzuki legacy continues. Like Father, Like Daughter was produced while David Suzuki was on tour sharing stories from The Autobiography in 2006. The documentary includes Severn Cullis Suzuki's famous speech at the UN Conference on the Environment and Development in 1992. Severn addressed the delegation with passion, "My Dad always says you are what you do, not what you say. Well, what you do makes me cry at night. You grownups say you love us. But I challenge you, please, make your actions reflect your words."

At the age of 12, Severn's speech made international news and inspired a handshake from Al Gore who said, "That's the best speech that anybody gave at this meeting."

Promises are broken all the time...

In his preamble to an interview with David Suzuki, George Stroumboulopoulos of CBC's The Hour says, "Promises are broken all of the time. Oh, like promises on the environment." And he continues to explain that opposition leader Jack Layton threatened a non-confidence vote. Sadly, George called it. One year later, our Members of Parliament vote in favour of a mandate that is a bold-faced reneging of the Kyoto targets. Check this out.
