					<description><![CDATA[Today, David&#8217;s Suzuki&#8217;s birthday is being celebrated with a party and a polite, yet urgent, request to help the David Suzuki with its ongoing campaign to protect the planet. Since the pandemic&#8217;s lockdown, we&#8217;ve been spending more time in the natural world and appreciating all it has to offer. It makes sense to safeguard and preserve it for future generations and make a donation to the David Suzuki Foundation as a birthday gift. Green Heroes had the privilege of including this iconic and inspiring leader among our 45 Green Heroes. What is interesting, when he told us his own story for our TV show and in this online video, is WHO inspired him. Starting with Rachel Carson, who wrote the groundbreaking book Silent Spring in the 1960s, and followed by a meeting with the Haida Gwaii First Nations on British Columbia&#8217;s West Coast decades later, David tells a compelling story of his own awakening to the root causes of our environmental troubles and the impact it has on us as co-inhabiters of this planet. David is also well-known as host of The Nature of Things on the CBC, celebrating a record breaking 60 years on the air, taking viewers inside [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is Spring and the world is waking up. Take a walk and listen to the birds sing in the trees and witness the radiant flowers as they come into bloom. These are all hopeful signs amidst the waiting and worry that comes with an unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has stopped the usual hustle and bustle in its tracks. For the 50th anniversary of Earth Day tomorrow we wanted to release this music video. Back in 1970, an oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara created a worldwide environment movement that continues today. The question we ask is WHY have we not progressed with the environmental cause as quickly as the women&#8217;s and civil rights movement which began at the same time?  This call to action song is written and performed by Green Heroes’ composer, Chris Birkett. The video was directed, shot and edited by Joan Prowse, co-creator of the TV series Green Heroes. Appearing in the video is Tristan Avakian on Electric Ud, Natalie Wong on Violin, Jeremy Edwardes on Harmonica and Shari Tallon on keys. For the song itself all instruments were played by Chris Birkett except for the Harmonica. Video was shot on location in Montreal [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We all know that trees are living organisms, but did you know that they talk to each other? Trees build entire eco-communities using massive connected fungal networks. Cutting down an individual tree, not only kills it but damages its entire ecosystem; a truly terrible socio-environmental cost. To learn more about the Hidden Life of Trees, we suggest checking out the book by the same name and listening to The Free Spirits’ new song inspired by the book. The book&#8217;s author, Peter Wohlleben, was so impressed with the song, he immediately tweeted his praise. The Free Spirits are a two-piece band comprised of Chris Birkett: an award-winning record producer, multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, and Shari Tallon: a songwriter, flute and keyboard musician. Their latest album, &#8220;11:11&#8221; (available here), includes &#8220;The Hidden Life of Trees&#8221; and is featured in music magazines including Cashbox Canada and the online blog, Tinnitist. We&#8217;ve included the lyrics they wrote below: The Hidden Life of Trees, what are they here for?The Hidden Life of Trees, they talk to each other Across the forest floor Roots that touch one another, branches reach for the skyIn between Heaven and Earth, they live and they die So much to learn [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Preserving the environment is always met with backlash concerning the perceived expense to maintain it, but can you put a price tag on how much we lose by failing to do so? Turns out, we can! Casey Trees and Davey Tree Expert Co. banded together to create the National Tree Benefit Calculator, a handy tool for determining the approximate yearly value of any street-side tree. By calculating the absorbed stormwater runoff, energy conservation, reduction in air pollution and carbon, and even property value increase, this tool provides easy financial justification for maintaining trees on your property. Green Heroes used this tool to calculate the value of a very special tree! It was received as a cutting at the memorial service for Greenpeace co-founder Robert Hunter in 2006. Recently, we measured it on its rooftop home in Toronto&#8217;s downtown waterfront neighbourhood. Based on how it has grown, it provides $109 annually to the rooftop, adding to Robert Hunter&#8217;s already valuable environmental legacy. CineFocus Canada, producers of Green Heroes, had the opportunity to interview Robert Hunter twice, first for their series Lucky Breaks and again for the documentary Greenpeace: Made in Canada on the Discovery Channel, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Earth Day began on April 22, 1970 with an impassioned speech by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson who, at the height of protests against the war in Vietnam, asked whether money might be better spent on solving environmental problems instead. Response to the challenge was swift with the launch of the Environmental Protection and Clean Energy Acts in the U.S. and the founding of Pollution Probe and Greenpeace in Canada. But as quickly as the environmental movement was born subsequent decades have laid claim to environmental disasters from wars to nuclear explosions, chemical spills,&#160;toxic gas leaks, and&#160;oil spills.&#160; Questions remains such as why, 50 years after the first Earth Day, has so little headway been made to protect our precious planet?&#160; Furthermore, why was our early activism replaced by complacency that led to weakened environmental laws, extreme weather conditions and environmental disasters like the Exxon Valdez oil spill? Where have we failed?&#160; Where have we succeeded? While international awareness led to innovation and campaigns to protect the planet, there remains an enormous gap of indifference from political leaders down to everyday people about the fragility of our planet’s future. CineFocus Canada is tackling these questions in a new documentary and interactive [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What can we do this year to make a difference? Start by heeding some sage advice from Dr. Jane Goodall &#8211; this month&#8217;s Green Hero. What every person can do is spend a little bit of time every day learning about and thinking about the consequences of all the little choices we make each day. What we buy. What we wear. What we eat. How we get from A to B. How we interact with other people. How we interact with animals and the environment. If we all start making little changes the cumulative effect will be the kind of thing we need to change the world and put it back on track. You can watch the webisode where she speaks these words or catch the entire Green Heroes TV episode featuring Dr. Goodall along with other animal champions including Dolphin Protector Ric O&#8217;Barry, Shark enthusiast Rob Stewart, and Papa Goose, Richard Lishman on Amazon Prime Also as a special treat this month- the multi-award winning documentary National Geographic documentary about Jane Goodall&#8217;s life with the chimps airs on TVO Monday, January 7 at 9 p.m. as part of their Biography Mondays series. The documentary also gives a seldom seen [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Green Hero, Rob Stewart’s latest film, &#8220;Sharkwater Extinction&#8221;, opened across Canada on October 19th. It premiered with a special screening at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7th and is featured at this year’s Planet in Focus Environmental Film Festival on Sunday October 28th at 1:30 p.m. at the Innis Town Hall on the University of Toronto Campus. Thanks to Rob’s 2006 first film, &#8220;Sharkwater&#8221;, and his tireless campaigning, shark-finning is banned throughout the world. Yet, as Rob tells us in the opening lines to his latest movie, sharks continue to die in record numbers. &#8220;Sharkwater Extinction&#8221; follows Rob’s on his renewed quest to find out why this is happening. &#8220;Sharkwater Extinction&#8221; takes us to West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, Florida and Los Angeles to expose this multi-billion dollar industry. As you can imagine the quest is not without risk. Sadly Rob Stewart drowned on a dive off the coast of Florida while making this film. However, the film does not dwell on his death. Instead it inspires us with a message of hope to follow his lead and become heroes ourselves. Regina Domingo appears in &#8220;Sharkwater Extinction&#8221; with Rob. Originally from Barcelona, she now lives in Mexico, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ric O’Barry’s first environmental act took place on April 22, 1970, when he was arrested for freeing a captive dolphin. What makes his story particularly poignant is Ric was unaware that this action would change the course of his life, taking him from dolphin trainer to dolphin protector. During the 1960s, Ric’s love of marine life led to a position at the Miami aquarium where he trained the five dolphins that regularly appeared as Flipper on the popular TV series. When the series was cancelled and the dolphins warehoused, Ric realized the error of his ways and began a crusade to save dolphins from captivity and senseless death. Ric’s campaign has been fuelled by the 2010 Oscar® winning film The Cove and by his determination. Today, as Japan prepares to host the Olympic summer games in 2020, Ric is calling on Japan’s Prime Minister to halt the annual dolphin capture and slaughter that takes place around the coast of the country in Taiji. Ric is not the only Green Hero using a 2020 target date for campaigns aimed at changing government policy and individual behavior in favour of the planet. Already underway are Earth Day events leading up to the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) is taking on a conservation challenge of epic proportions to reach an estimated 164,000 tenants living in over 58,000 rental units across the city. As North America’s second largest housing provider, only surpassed by New York’s Public Housing Authority in size, this is no small feat. But the goal is a worthy one – to create a better place for TCHC residents to live and a better planet for all. As part of this initiative, CineFocus Canada, Green Heroes&#8217; production company, is working with Toronto Community Housing’s Capital Engagement and Conservation Program (CECP) to create a series of on-line shareable videos aimed at reducing energy consumption (electricity, water, natural gas) and waste in residential buildings across the city. The mission is to produce ten short videos, each one showing a particular conservation challenge and how to fix it. In order to ensure the videos reach the largest number of people living in TCH’s 2,200 high, mid, and low-rise apartments, town homes and houses, the videos include animated characters and tenant profiles to give tips of what can be done to reduce consumption with the end goal of creating a better place to live.

					<description><![CDATA[Heroes combat adversity with ingenuity, bravery and strength. Al Gore truly exemplifies these heroic attributes. For over a decade, the former American Vice President has fought climate change, the greatest challenge of our time. In 2006, his Academy Award winning film An Inconvenient Truth, raised awareness about the need to phase out fossil fuels and shift to clean renewable energy.  Now eleven years later comes An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. In devastating detail, the sequel lays out the ongoing destruction of warming temperatures, rising seas and increasingly deadly storms. We also get to see Al Gore behind the scenes at international climate summits brokering complex deals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (I guess you could call this heroic diplomacy.) But what most inspired me was the focus on the power of ordinary individuals following in Gore&#8217;s footsteps promoting renewable energy solutions. The Climate Reality Leadership Corp  Al Gore created after his first film now numbers 12,000 and leads the way in the global movement for climate action. (Three members of the Green Heroes creative crew are part of this team.) An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is definitely worth seeing. Afterwards, you might consider the path for your own [&#8230;]]]></description>
