Dear David,
Ignorance is bliss (at least in the short run) and the truth about where we’re headed is -- to put it mildly - inconvenient. But while the world turns a blind eye, you rise up and speak out. In that calm, composed way of yours, you devote your life to lifting the veil of denial off the eyes of our self-consumed society. How you manage to hold on to the hope that people will come through and turn things around, I’ll never know. And it is the reason why in my eyes, you are one the greatest leaders of our era.
With great admiration,
Erica Leibner
In honour of David's birthday, my goal is to raise $1000 for the David Suzuki Foundation. Funds raised will support various work to protect the diversity of nature and our quality of life. One of these projects involves urging the cosmetics industry to list ingredients on products so people know what they are putting on their bodies and can avoid toxic chemicals. I firmly believe in this cause, and that there is no excuse for the cosmetics industry to be selling us products that are making us sick.
