Are you looking forward to the Green Living Show in Toronto? This is the second year that Green Living is hosting a show about innovative green products, strategies and ideas. Keynote speakers include Bill Clinton, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Ed Begley, Jr., Jean-Michel Cousteau, Simon
Jackson and Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons.
The show seems to take a realistic approach to the environment:
Changing one single light bulb won’t stop global warming, but changing every light bulb
is a strong start. Here are some simple solutions that will contribute to a cleaner, leaner,
greener environment…
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is perhaps less known than some of his Kennedy relatives but he has done incredible legal-environmental work with the Riverkeepers and at the Pace University School of Law, where he is a Clinical Professor and Supervising Attorney at the Environmental Litigation Clinic in White Plains, New York.

Alberto García died in February in his rural village of San Matías Cuijingo, Juchitepec, Mexico. He was 39, and is survived by his wife Mirabel and three children. He had fallen ill in May 2006 while working in a Simcoe, Ont., greenhouse under the Canadian Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (CSAWP).
Alberto and Maribel returned to Mexico in December, 2006, when his visa
and right to medical coverage in Canada expired. They were reunited with
their three young children who had stayed in Maribel's mother's care
during their absence.
In Mexico he found it difficult to afford costly cancer treatments and
eventually his condition deteriorated again. (Justicia for migrant workers)
