Hi everyone,
We had the honour to meet with former Prime Minister Paul Martin Sunday evening. This was an amazing opportunity to hear his personal thoughts on the issues of climate change. Mr. Martin spends much of his time working closely with issues regarding the deforestation, as well as Aboriginal rights in Canada and Africa, among others. He gave a truly inspirational speech about his experiences and knowledge on the Congo basin and the reasons that local communities have resorted to the deforestation of the tropical rain forests. Unfortunately, Mr. Martin states, that the trees found in these rain forests are worth more dead than alive.
All in all, this evening was very educational, and we were all pleased to be able to have a more intimate conversation with Mr. Martin. He is clearly working very hard for the issues he feels are important, and has no doubt made progress with his efforts.
Until next time! :)
