Late start update

I'm writing in a flash this morning as I'm late getting out.

Yesterday was a great day with DeWan charging ahead hours ahead of schedule.  We met with the Reeve, Bill Finlay, in Grafton, and talked about the challenges and possibilities of a post-carbon future in rural ridings.  Many yummy local apples later, we also met with Mayor Coombs in Colborne.  He lamented that his town had not done more for reducing emissions, but pointed out that the town's arena, Keeler Arena, was cooled with geothermal, with waste heat going to heat the seats.  He also gave us pins from Cramahe township.  Great thanks to Helmut and Janet for the wonderful accommodations in their log home, and to Edna and Bill for the fabulous soup for dinner.

Media coverage!

Two excellent articles about the Sunshine Walkers...

The health effects of climate change

This morning the roadside grass was white with frosted dew. We walked through Port Hope in mid morning and dropped off at their City Hall, trailed by a photographer. Shortly after noon, Lake Ontario suddenly shot into view and remained reassuringly to our side the rest of the way.

The people are all incredibly friendly. They beep and wave along the road. They inquire about what we're doing and ask how they can help.

We're in the riding of Northumberland-Quinte West. Three of the candidates here are supportive of our efforts, two enthusiastically enough that they came out to meet us at the City Hall in Cobourg where we met Mayor Peter Delanty, who told us about all the things Cobourg is doing to reduce its emissions. At an all-candidates meeting in the evening, the fourth candidate and incumbent, Ron Norlock, refused to sign onto Kyoto Plus when asked directly.

We were covered in the Cobourg Daily Star and in the Port Hope Evening Guide today. Look for us there again tomorrow. A local radio station played the all-candidates debate live, including Rita's excellent and controversial question.

Rita wanted to know why the government had suppressed a Health Canada report on the health impacts of climate change in Canada. You can download a copy of the report here:

Which brings us to a couple of deeply disturbing questions about integrity and competence. Our Prime Minister likes to portray himself as steady, wise and reliable. He likes to talk about how dealing with the climate crisis is imprudent. But with the economy in shambles, health care costs on the rise and a record of coverups, it's hard to see how he can sustain such notions.

A couple of important thank yous: To Rob Grand of Grassroots, for the donation of 5 wind-up flashlights for when we walk after dusk. They came in very useful on the very first day and will again. To Nino Gaspari of Goddess Gourmet, for the yummy m-bars we grab for energy along the way. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for the evening, for feeding us and taking us to the all-candidates meeting (I'd name them but one happens to be a candidate and this is a non-partisan walk - we endorse commitment and sensible solutions, not specific people). And I'm going to thank Alex today, because she's been answering all the emails to the site and is such a wonderful person.

10 years to fossil-free electricity

Al Gore has called on the United States to eliminate electricity generation from fossil fuels in 10 years by investing heavily in renewables. Due to our enormous hydro resources, Canada already relies much less on fossils for our electricity. There's no reason we can't do at least as well.

Thank yous for the day: to wonderful local supporter Margaret who joined us outside Bowmanville and Durham Liberal candidate Bryan Ransom and his son who joined us at the Bowmanville Municipal Offices. Mr. Ransom's Kyoto Plus pledge is proudly displayed on his campaign office door, and he spoke eloquently and wisely about his concern for the environment, reflected not only in his dedication to fighting climate change, but also in his long battle for local air quality in fighting incineration and promoting recycling instead. He is proud of the direction that Stephane Dion is moving the Liberal party, toward greater action on climate change. He and Margaret walked with us well into the outskirts of town and sent us off. Thanks to Stuart, Alex, Mustaq and especially Kim for all their hard work and concern for us. Mustaq was feeling under the weather so we're all hoping he'll be up to scratch soon. And a huge thank you to Karen, a new friend who never heard about the walk until Rita arrived on her doorstep and asked if she could park her bike there for the night. Karen not only agreed, but took us to our motel.

DeWan and I were much more tired today, but for a happy reason. We're walking on gravel now, in countryside between small towns. The air is cleaner, there's less traffic and the noise it makes and we can pick up local produce at markets all along the way. Eddy is eager to go further. He races ahead, stuffing mailboxes with flyers along the country road and postering bulletin boards in the towns. DeWan is relentless. He hasn't got his hearing aid. He's dealing with bad knees and other health concerns. He paces himself but treads right on, looking forward to relaxing in the evening. And Rita is amazing, running back and forth between us all with her bike loaded down with fruits and water for everyone, taking our sweaters when we don't need them, giving them back when we do. She engages everyone she meets on this issue. We're running out of flyers. A good problem to have.

How to Vote

As yesterday, I have to begin by acknowledging the wonderful support we get through the day. Today's thank yous begin with Chai who met us early in the morning on our walk. A huge thank you to Betty Anne Platt and her friends from Kairos in the Whitby area, who arranged a wonderful lunch reception for us outside the Whitby Library, helped coordinate candidate meetings for us and fussed over us, making sure we were warm and well-fed. Thanks to Glenn and Soo Luen from EcoSanity who joined us there and trailed us with cameras for hours. Thanks to the crew of Whitby-Oshawa NDP candidate David Purdy who came out to the event, and to Green Party candidate Doug Anderson who walked with us for much of the early afternoon. Thanks for Kairos supporter Lynn for taking the time to bring out some umbrellas for us when it started to drizzle. The thoughtfulness of people along the way just amazes me. Thanks to Sadek, Rene and Eddy who were with us again today. Eddy will be with us until Wednesday. A big thank you to Oshawa NDP candidate Mike Shields, who came out to Oshawa city centre and waited inside for us with Sid Ryan while we waited outside through missed communication. Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks to Durham Green Party candidate Stephen Leahy for meeting us with several volunteers. Thanks to Kim and Mustaq, as always, for keeping us safe and sane. The big thank-yous of the day, though, go to Dewan, steadfastly plodding on through exhaustion and aches and to our hosts this evening, Carrie and Abel.

We're in the midst of an election, so people ask us how they should vote. We had decided, when we began planning this walk, that we would continue in case of an election because it would be a way to have an impact at election time. So it's an important question. Here's my answer:

1. To evaluate the parties, go to the Sierra Club site at
http://www.sierraclub.ca/national/vote-canada/2008/voters-guide-climate-crisis-election.pdf
They have a voter's guide to the elections with a report card on all the parties.

***update*** I've been alerted to the fact that Greenpeace also has an evaluation of the parties, coordinated with the Sierra Club, which can be accessed here:
http://www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/

2. To evaluate your candidates, go to the Kyoto Plus site and look at the candidates list here:
http://www.kyotoplus.ca/en/candidates.html
If more than one candidate in your riding has signed onto Kyoto Plus, ask them why. The wholehearted endorsers will give this crisis more attention than those who are reluctant.

3. To vote strategically, go to a site that identifies a strategic environmental pick in every riding:
http://www.voteforenvironment.ca/
I'm not necessarily promoting strategic voting because it has pitfalls as well as advantages. Still, a lot of Canadians vote strategically because the democratic system is broken, and if you vote strategically, you might as well make an informed decision.

But finally, what's really important to me is that you don't stop at the election. It's tempting to feel that you vote for the person you feel will take care of you so that you can go on with your life. In this case though, politicians are just not taking care of you. No Canadian government ever has done enough for this crisis, and there's every reason to believe that the proposals of every one of our national parties today will fall significantly short of what is eventually needed. Every week brings new bad news indicating that the climate is more sensitive than we believed.

And yet, real solutions are within reach. And they will provide tangible benefits such as

• an economy prepared to benefit from the end of fossil fuels rather than being at risk of suffering.
• the fundamentals of life (food and shelter) reoriented for preparation for the future instead of at risk of collapsing.
• fresher air, drinkable water, safe food.
• reduced reliance on foreign imports
• a healthy local economy
• safer streets
• a reduction in noise pollution
• a reduction in asthmas and other health problems
• a reduction in government spending on health and environmental mitigation
  

So after the election, no matter who you vote for, all concerned Canadians must continue to press their representatives to live up to their commitments. I truly believe our politicians will thank you. Study after study indicate that the public recognizes the problem in a way that is not reflected in political platforms. Left alone, politicians tend to move very slowly, far too slowly for the crisis at hand. But it's not because politicians are unaware of the crisis. Most are better informed than the average elector. But they need to feel reassured that they are not committing political suicide by proposing something radical. And it's time to make them understand that it's political suicide to sit by and not do the necessary things, even if they seem radical.

What's more, tell your elected representative to work productively with other parties. Part of the reason we're not getting enough action on climate change is that every party wants to take credit for the best plan. Progress is more important than perfection. Bickering is getting us nowhere, it only confuses people.

So vote thoughtfully, but pledge to yourself to hold your government representatives accountable.

At the end of today's walking, we walked into a stunning rainbow and suddenly clear skies and blazing sunshine. I'm feeling hopeful.

From inner city core to the suburbs

It's been a thrilling and exhausting day. It's approaching midnight and there's too much to possibly describe in a single post. So I'll say some thank yous and focus on one observation.

Thank you to DeWan, the inspiration for this walk. By the end of the day, he was clearly exhausted but kept trudging on with tired determination. Thank you Rita, for your wisdom and eternal good spirits. Rita brought her bike because of concern her knees would not survive, and as a result seems to be travelling greater distances going back and forth between supporters and walkers and running errands in between. Thank you Kim, Stuart, Alex and Mustaq, our permanent support network who look after us. Thank you to all the people who came out to walk with us today, friends, supporters, candidates, DeWan's endless stream of cousins. Thank you to the many people who are supporting us along the way with offers of food, shelter, errands and so on. Thank you to Stephen Scharper, Dorothy McDougall, Dave Martin, Carolyn Egan, Eddy, Misha, Waeza and the other young people who so inspired us with their thoughts at the kickoff which now seems eons ago. Thanks to people like John Bell, Rich, Paul York and Michael who helped make that kickoff a success. Thanks to the crowd of people who escorted us through the city. Thanks to the nice policemen who keep on eye on us to make sure we're safe. Thanks to Betty Anne, whose house I'm staying at and whose computer I'm writing this note at.

Today's journey was a journey through three different modes of living, three distinct challenges to evolving into a post carbon future.

We began in a city centre, with its hodge-podge of old inefficient and leaky buildings and new buildings which can hog more energy despite access to more efficient options. Along the city streets, most people moved by walking or on the many streetcars, or underground, unseen, on the subway system. It is a city that is evolving to meet the renewed demand for pedestrian friendly options, making street crossings prioritize pedestrians. But the city faces enormous challenges in a post-carbon future. I know, though today I didn't see it, that at night the city blazes with light. In the summer, people live and work in refrigerated environments. Old buildings have never been properly retrofitted for the requirements of a post-carbon future, beginning with the lovely building before which we began: the Legislature of Ontario.

Then we passed through older residential neighbourhoods, a complex, too of old and new and renovated. And still the streetcars scooted along, and buses too, though not with the same frequency. As we walked, they competed more and more with the cars. The challenge here will be to keep all those people warm in the winter without fossil fuels. It can be done. The Europeans have developed structures so well insulated that they require no mechanical heating system at all. California has declared that by 2020, all new buildings must be energy self-sufficient. Any energy they use, they must produce themselves. But existing, older buildings have their own challenges, which are more difficult to regulate. Yet still, we must do something. Because these areas are in many ways most suited to post-carbon living. The business areas are compact and accessible to pedestrians, the linkages to other parts of the city by public transit are superb.

And then we arrived at the suburbs. Kingston Rd became a 6-lane highway, cars whizzing by at incredible speeds and often with deafening noise. And every store was attached to a generous parking area and there was no place for Rita to put her bike, and every food store served primarily drive-throughs, with the odd lonely customer actually stumbling in. The suburbs will undoubtedly be the greatest challenge of all. It is mind-boggling here how life depends on cheap energy. The homes are newer and more efficient than the older city homes, but nowhere near enough to face energy descent. The reliance on cars is deeply troubling.

And yet. Here I am in a beautiful, compact suburban home. My hostess served me soup from celery which came from her own garden. She picks up a GO train daily nearby, and arrives at work in less time than Rita used to take to commute within the city. So there's some potential here for a post carbon future. And we need to find it.
