This week's show was the first of the 2009-2010 season and =20 was originally broadcast in early September, I believe. I can't resist another advertisement for CBC Radio on our =20 environment. David Suzuki has a brand new radio show, "The Bottom =20 Line" (cbc.ca/thebottomline), which started just today and will be =20 broadcast on Sunday mornings at 11 a.m. for an hour. Today was a =20 good hour, with a Haida and Jim Prentice in the Queen Charlotte =20 Islands where the surrounding sea has been newly protected around the =20= national park, plus Nicholas Stern, former chief economist of the =20 World Bank, etc. Suzuki's final word this week was let's put the "eco" back into =20 economics (the same root as for ecology).
