Here is a rant:
I just came back from a showing of a new documentary that just premiered in February (don’t quote me on that) and the title of this documentary was This Changes Everything. The premise of this particular documentary was that climate change is an issue first of all and how is the battle between climate change and the human race progressing.
Why should anyone care about climate change or global warming? Why should anyone want to reduce their energy consumption and ecological footprint? Why should you want to take the time to recycle instead of just throwing everything in the trash? These questions are becoming increasingly difficult to answer when addressing young people on the challenges our generation will face in the next few decades.
When the environmental movement roared through Ontario in the late 1980s and 1990s, only a few bright minds in academia realized some of these issues were here to stay. Intuitively, Durham College (DC) jumped ahead of the trend and hired some of these people to contribute towards the creation of DC’s environmentally friendly programs (e.g., Ross Stevenson, former Federal and Provincial MP) such as the Renewable Energy Technician, Water Quality Technician and Environmental Technology programs.
