David Suzuki is a leftist who produces programs for the left wing Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
That's a grand sweeping statement if I ever heard one. Got any proof?
David Suzuki is on the far left of several issues with global warming the biggest example. That being said, sustainable development has some very good ideas. Use less water and electricity to do the same task results in a cost savings and an improved efficiency. Cut down on the waste you produce saves money up from by having to spend less on disposal and less waste means you have a more efficeint process. Long term, less waste means you don't have to worry as much about lawsuits or environmental cleanup years down the road. It also means taking a more analytical approach to how a company does business which usually indicates management is looking for better and more effective ways of doing business. This isn't some druid inspired envirowacko idea. It does have practical applications that help a company be more efficient (reduced costs) and more profitable as a result.
