The election is just starting and the media is talking about planes, trains and automobiles. Imagine that the media is bringing the environment into light for all to see. It's about time.
The reason the media, governments, and politicians are listening is because the grass roots people have decided they want a future. We need people to walk the walk and talk the talk. It's about time the media talked about the environment in an actual important way. Keep up the good work everyone. It's even more important that spin doctors, and media handlers and the politicians have already thought of environmental implications when creating their speaking notes. Things are changing. The power of the people is here and now, let's make sure the discussions continue.
Now what else will political parties do? Signs? Pamphlets? Travel? and more.. Keep an eye on what you here and what you see. It's one thing to say that you are respecting the environment and it so important, and then jump into your gas guzzling SUV and ride away into the sunset. Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
The positive is that the environment will take an elevated position this election. It's all of our responsibility to ask questions, evaluate the answers and the actions. Speaking notes don't go far enough if the belief in creating a better future is not in the hearts of the politicians. It will keep being in the lime light as long as we as individuals keep talking, acting and asking. We are winning the battle of awareness but the battle to change things for the better is just getting started!
The most important thing is make your choice known on October 14, 2008. People are wondering if they make a difference. Your vote is a privilege and a responsibility. Make it count. Inform your selves, watch what’s happening during the campaign and most importantly exercise your democratic right to vote. We make a difference when we make a choice. It will be environmentally friendly to do so... 
Elections Canada will create enough ballots for all eligible voters to make their choice, we can't reuse them so lets use them when we get a chance. It would be a shame to let all those ballots go to waste without being used.
We need to see how far politicians will go to win an election... Are they going to talk the talk or are they actually going to walk the walk?
We need to see how far politicians will go to win an election... Are they going to talk the talk or are they actually going to walk the walk?
How far will the politicians go? Only as far as we let them. Keep them on their toes.
