This is a keystone issue for the survival of profit-seeking humanity that especially all environmentalists should give the highest priority to (what profit humanity to gain the whole world but loose our life support system?) . Robert M<div><br></div><div>PS: CAUTION -- WHAT FOLLOWS COULD BE VERY UPSETTING. Not unrelated, GREN's majority support (except 2 of us for sure) of the Region's current LRT proposal -- even though probably none of you sufficiently know the complexity of what you are supporting -- is a very bad decision. At a very critical time when humanity must use relatively scarce resources to sustainablize our way of Life (so as to fundamentally protect the planet), the Region's very non-innovative proposal would use excessive resources (money and materials) to create a partial LRT-based system that would ill-benefit our local economy, our community or our environment -- and be a great example of a World Innovative HUB dramatically failing to use proven technological innovations to succeed. I state this as probably the only citizen who has sufficiently researched the RTI project thus enabling me to constructively criticize its plan as a basis for suggesting proven technological enhancements which all of you GREN cheerleaders have shown at best a superficial interest ! (I do appreciate the interest of you Peter and Alisa.) But for the rest of you, ego & competitiveness seem to get in the way of truth seeking and innovation-phylia in collaboration with others. And shame on you for creating such an un-loving climate at GREN meetings! (I especially did not appreciate the reluctance of John to allow me to address the group about my LRT system ideas, nor did I appreciate the 2 women who mocked me as I was about to speak!)</div><div><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On 20-May-11, at 12:53 PM, Peter Kofler wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; "><a href="http://www.alternet.org/environment/150923/vision%3A_nature_needs_rights_--_why_our_human-centric_model_will_doom_us_and_the_rest_of_the_planet/?page=entire">http://www.alternet.org/environment/150923/vision%3A_nature_needs_rights_--_why_our_human-centric_model_will_doom_us_and_the_rest_of_the_planet/?page=entire</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>_______________________________________________<br>All mailing list<br><a href="mailto:All@gren.ca">All@gren.ca</a><br><a href="http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca">http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca</a><br></div></span></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
