‘Musing’: Local Growth Myth
I have made use of our local community newspaper (Stouffville Sun-Tribune) to voice my opinion on a number of issues. From a guest editorial to letters to the editor (see this and this as examples). And, when one of the columns writers threw out a challenge to readers to share visions of all the positive changes that the Town should envision as we continue to grow at one of the highest rates in all of Canada (see this), I had to respond. The following is the text of that response:
So, a question I’d like to pose to readers in this discussion is this: given the other side of the coin, do we really want the growth targets imposed by the ‘state?’ Or do we tell our leaders to stop now, while there is some ‘country’ left in the Town.
Olduvai – where the environment, economy, and energy problems come together…
See OLDUVAI for information on my novel.
It is a fictional tale that examines the various problems humans are encountering: rising police states; environmental degradation; economic uncertainty; and, surviving in a world of unexpected social fallout due to the ‘perfect storm’ of unintended consequences from our ‘exponential growth culture’.
