Toronto’s Water Efficiency Plan
Toronto’s Water Efficiency Plan
Did you know that in the City of Toronto, the average residential water use is about 253 litres per person per day? With every litre of water pumped weighing 1 kilogram, that’s a tonne of water needed for a family of four each day. Compare that with the 1.23 billion litres per day of water that must be supplied to all residents and businesses in the city. With a population of 2.59 million residents, that amounts to 77 million toilet flushes a day.

Because small is the BIG of the Future:
There are several common wisdoms, which advise people to pursue excellence rather than size. Some of my favorites are “keep it simple”, “less is more”, and “it’s the quality of the job not the size of the tool”. My neighbour with the super-sized SUV might disagree, but I believe that “Small is the Big of the Future”, and I think his mantra belongs in our popular vernacular – please pass it on if it works for you and the people you know.

small voices BIG consequences
Having seen An Inconvenient Truth, The End of Suburbia and Manufactured Landscapes I cannot understand how Canadians continue to super-consume and mega-pollute. I understand from this film and scientific sources that Humans are reaching a critical relationship with the planet. If you are inspired to action, please seek out and contact like-minded individuals. Add your small voice to the BIG world of global (and Local) change. If you haven’t seen these movies, I strongly urge you to go see them by whatever inconvenient means possible.

Sustainable Development in Canada
As technology editor of Outpost Magazine I have written about sustainable energy, and emerging technologies for years.
There are innumerable challenges when converting to alternative energy sources, and most are economically viable and relatively low impact in terms of quality of life and change of behaviour.
Canada is abundant in social entrepreneurs who are pushing the envelope to develop better ways of harnessing the energy of the natural elements in order to Fuel our Future.
