From the Seattle Times today. As I stated when I declared that there was no reason to continue this blog because “Environmentalism is dead” a new interview with David Suzuki, the leading environmentalist in Canada for over 50 years, has also declared it over, once again. Suzuki pronounced the environmental movement dead about 10 years ago in an interview in McClean’s Magazine, which I covered in this blog at the time. This time around he does not mince words.
“Suzuki says the environmental movement, once so promising in the early days of Greenpeace, has fundamentally failed because of its microfocus on saving endangered species instead of promoting a radical overhaul of economic systems. At no time does he whitewash his culpability.”
