Suzuki at the AIA
David Suzuki was a keynote speaker at the American Institute of Architects annual conference, this year called "Growing Beyond Green". There is a report on his talk here: http://www.aia.org/aiarchitect/thisweek07/0504/0504n_suzuki.cfm
From the sounds of it it doesn't appear to have been a talk particularly focussed towards the thousand of architects sitting in front of him. He did spruik his "Nature Challenge" to the audience. 10 rules to live by:
1. Reduce home energy by 10 percent
2. Eat meat-free meals once a week
3. Buy a fuel efficient, low-polluting car
4. Choose an energy efficient home and appliances
5. Stop using pesticides
6. Walk, bike, or take transit to regular destinations
7. Prepare your meals with locally produced food
8. Choose a home close to regular destinations
9. Support alternatives to the car
10. Get involved, stay informed
