In Toronto, there is a wind turbine by the lake. Given the height of the new condo towers going up, installing micro turbines on the roof seems to make sense. These condos are high enough that people at street level would not see them or be impacted by the shadows they cast.

On my walks, what I enjoy the most is being away from screens. What would make the walks more enjoyable is more green spaces away from concrete.

Eating smaller portions helps with controlling one's weight. Being overweight and obese has been linked to all kinds of negative health effects.  These negative health effects do end up adding up and affect society as a whole. 

Our society is based on consumption. However, it has gone well beyond the point of being sustainable.  My vision of a sustainable community is not only one that only focuses on environmentally-friendly technologies, but also one where each member only use what they need, and take pride in doing more with less. 

I didn't realize what the rainforest alliance tag meant on coffee and chocolate. Being more deliberate about what I purchase and not wasting anything will help reduce my impact. I'm happy I'm more aware of how much palm oil is it...dr. bronners, nooooo! :(

This was the first time I heard the term "silvopasture". The biggest advantage is that this approach finds synergies between multiple components (trees, forage plants and livestock), making the system more efficient and effective than each individual component can be by itself. 

What i like the most about biking in the city is being able to get exercise and fresh air as part of my commute instead of specifically trying to make time for it. I would like improved cycling infrastructure and also better driver education in how to share the road with cyclists.

I am a bit surprised that Canada is not pursuing energy extraction from tidal range since the Bay of Fundy has the world's highest tides. However, before sticking more machines into the oceans, environmental impacts should be assessed on what to do when they eventually break down and what the impact is on local wildlife. 

As our environment become more hostile due to climate change, it has become apparent that action is needed by everyone in order to keep our planet habitable in the future. If individuals to not care, why would corporations and government care? Effective action starts at the individual level.

Women see the big picture and the inter-connectivity of our world while men are a bit more singular focus on a single goal. Both are good attributes, but we need to start balancing the scale of wealth distribution and power!
