MATTHEW MCCULLY Anyone who visited the La Microdistillerie bar on Meadow Street on September 4 is encouraged get tested.By Gordon Lambie In his weekly update on the COVID-19 situation in the Estrie Region, regional public health director Dr.Alain Poirier encouraged the public to look at reporting on cases in school and local businesses carefully so as not to cause panic.While he acknowledged that the start of the new school year has resulted in a number of cases being detected in local schools, he pointed out that, to-date, all of these cases have been individuals who contracted the virus outside the schools and not outbreaks.\u201cCases are most often spread in family environments,\u201d Poirier said, stressing the fact that the public health department actively investigates all positive cases and those individuals deemed to be at medium or high risk are contacted directly.While steps are being taken to improve the capacity of the regional testing centres, the public health director discouraged people who are asymptomatic from going to get tested so that more people who know they are sick can check whether they have the virus.That being said, however, Poirier did CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 5 Page 2 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Ben by Daniel Shelton The Record e-edition There for you 24-hours-a-day 7-days-a-week.Wherever you are.Access the full edition of the Sherbrooke Record as well as special editions and 30 days of archives.Renew or order a new 12-month print subscription and get a 12-month online subscription for an additional $5 or purchase the online edition only for $125.00 Record subscription rates (includes Quebec taxes) For print subscription rates, please call 819-569-9528 or email us at billing@sherbrookerecord.com 12 month web only: $125.00 1 month web only: $11.25 Web subscribers have access to the daily Record as well as archives and special editions.Subscribing is as easy as 1,2,3: 1.Visit the Record website: www.sherbrookerecord.com 2.Click e-edition.3.Complete the form and wait for an email activating your online subscription.Weather TODAY: SUNNY HIGH OF 15 LOW OF 8 WEDNESDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 22 LOW OF 11 THURSDAY: 60 % CHANCE OF SHOWERS HIGH OF 15 LOW OF 1 FRIDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 14 LOW OF -1 SATURDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 14 LOW OF 2 Have you met Angel Forrest?Anyone who\u2019s had the good fortune to be in the presence of Angel Coulombe knows there are more than ?ve senses.Her presence wakes you up somehow \u2013 maybe it\u2019s the mass of crimson gypsy curls, maybe it\u2019s the way she radiates strength and power, maybe it\u2019s her earth goddess vibe, maybe it\u2019s the timeless ?erce woman she would have been in any age or epoch of time, a sense of her vulnerability or appearance to delve into the world around her, even what we cannot see.Maybe\u2026 Maybe it\u2019s all of the above.And then, when an audience experiences all of that poured into a voice and performance, the presence that was already measured in megawatts moves into a new measurement of energy, an Angelwatt, the kind of personal force that songstresses through time have fought to preserve and present on stage in the male-dominated world of entertainment.Angel Forrest rises above all of that - transcends before an audience\u2019s eyes and ears, occupying all of that space and time, blending the boundaries thereof.With three decades of space/time at the mic, Angel\u2019s last album, Hell-Bent With Grace does just as her website claims \u2013 giving \u201cthe perspective of an aging woman in the public eye and her lessons learned, as she feels like a little girl living so many changes in what can be perceived as the peaceful autumn of her life.\u201d This collection leaves us laughing, knowing, shaking our heads and shedding tears.It\u2019s all in there.Fitting that with Angel Forrest\u2019s con?dence and ease in bringing a crowd together, binding folks in a clutch of time and sound, she would be the ?rst artist to brave a live stage show in six months at Knowlton\u2019s Theatre Lac-Brome.Given the current pandemic restrictions, Theatre Lac-Brome has had to contemplate and will enforce safety rules and regulations.Ellen David, Artistic Director at Theatre Lac-Brome outlines the approach their team has taken to reinstating live events.\u201cOur ?rst show post-COVID was Stéphane Tétreault and Valérie Milot on Sept.12 at 2 and 4 p.m.and was held outside on our grounds.We had our staff work towards keeping everyone safe and socially distanced from the way the cars were parked, to the way we allowed people to enter the outdoor audience space.It was one group or individual at a time.Our technical director had spray-painted lines on the ground at appropriate distances where people had to place their chairs (that they brought themselves).Then as each group was settled we had a baton that would indicate the two-metre distance from group-to-group.Everyone entered with a mask on.\u201d \u201cWithin the theatre for our next show on the 19th, we will adhere to a similar policy.\u201d The 161-seat theatre can accommodate approximately 45 people depending on whether they attend as a group or an individual.Safe distances have been measured according to CNESST guidelines.There is no reserved seating, with attendees being seated from front to back in a ?rst-come/?rst-served fashion, placed a safe distance apart and then skipping a row before seating the next concertgoers.Masks are obligatory, and the theatre will be disinfected prior to the show, and afterwards as well.\u201cThe fact that we, as well as other arts institutions, had to shut down and suspend our seasons has been heartbreaking of course, and a great challenge.But, what we noticed last week was that our audiences are hungry for quality entertainment, and so we will endeavour to provide it within the guidelines that have been established, keeping safety ?rst in mind of course.\u201d As if an Angel Forrest show wasn\u2019t enough to remind an audience of music lovers what they\u2019ve been missing in live performance, opening for the Townships voice of decorated rockin\u2019 blues is long-time performer, ?rst- time album recorder Patricia St-Onge, who commented on the production of her début album Give It Some Time, released on July 10, 2020.\u201cRecording an album has been something I\u2019ve wanted to do for years, but I had never really written songs.\u2019 Following the death of her mother, Patricia found her mind ?lling with lyrical bits, that didn\u2019t seem to quit.\u2018It was the ?rst time it had ever happened to me, and I couldn\u2019t stop them from ?owing through my mind over and over again.I grabbed my guitar and, much to my surprise, the same thing started happening with the music.\u201d Forty-?ve minutes later, the album\u2019s title track, Give It Some Time had taken shape.\u201cNot rushing things and giving things the time they needed to work out the way they are supposed to was absolutely the biggest lesson I learned throughout this process.\u201d Patricia was fortunate to have some close family and friends help out in-studio.On opening for Angel Forrest, Patricia explained, \u201cAngel was kind enough to take the time to listen to the album and sit with me for a little discussion, and to answer some questions that I had.The timing worked out perfectly, and when she asked if I would be interested in opening for her and Denis to launch my album, I jumped at this amazing opportunity.\u201d This isn\u2019t Patricia St-Onge\u2019s maiden stage voyage.\u201cPerforming has always been something that I LOVE doing! I\u2019ve been a dancer since I was eight years old and have been on stage hundreds of times between the dance shows, competitions, and singing.I can\u2019t get enough of it.There\u2019s something about the energy that comes from a live audience that gives me goosebumps ever time!\u201d Ellen David leaves us with words of anticipation, as the world of the performing arts ?nds its way, the artists buoying us through so much uncertainty, \u2018We are thrilled to be presenting blues legend Angel Forrest and local performer Patricia St-Onge, as the opening act, on our newly painted stage, and I know that those few who get to attend won\u2019t be disappointed!\u2019 For tickets, please contact Theatre Lac-Brome at 1(450)242-2270.Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands When we were young, we thought

species in local waters Record Staff Throughout the summer the Conseil de gouvernance de l\u2019eau des bassins versants de la rivière Saint-François (COGESAF) met with over 100 people to hold training sessions and awareness activities regarding the spread of aquatic alien invasive species and the importance of boat washing to limit their spread.Several bodies of water in the Saint- François River watershed are not only struggling with aquatic exotic invasive species, but the majority of them do not have washing stations nearby to counter the spread from lake to lake.COGESAF is a participatory governance council bringing together public, private and community organizations from the St.Francis and Connecticut River watersheds to develop an integrated water management approach.This year, the COGESAF team went twice to the shores of Lake Magog and Lake Brompton with a mobile washing station to wash several boats free of charge in addition to raising awareness of the problem.A total of 48 boats were washed during four days on the lakeshore with the participation of shoreline associations.The activities also made it possible to explain and demonstrate the operation of a boat wash station to the shoreline associations and municipal elected of?cials, as well as to train municipal employees in proper boat washing.It is expected that these activities will encourage the development of permanent wash stations near lake accesses and encourage citizens to use them.Activities will continue in the summer of 2021 in collaboration with waterfront associations wishing to participate in the project.Water milfoil, an invasive aquatic plant, is present in most of the lakes in southern Quebec.In addition, the presence of the zebra mussel in Lake Memphremagog, Lake Magog and recently detected in the Saint-François River remains a major concern for local organizations as well as for COGESAF.The presence of exotic invasive species is a problem deemed a priority by the water stakeholders of the Saint-François River watershed.COURTESY COGESAF The COGESAF team member washing a boat headed for Lake Magog while a young citizen takes a look at the invasive exotic species on display at a COGESAF information booth.recommend that anyone who visited the La Microdistillerie bar on Meadow Street on September 4 go get tested.To date nine cases have been tied to an event at that business.With regard to the ongoing situation at the Lambton long-term care home, the total number of cases associated with that outbreak rose to 30 on Monday: 13 staff and 17 residents.Poirier said that another round of testing is scheduled to take place today.There were 12 new cases reported across the Estrie region on Monday and the region will maintain its yellow \u201cpre-alert\u201d status this week.\u201cIt\u2019s a wake-up call\u201d the public health director said, encouraging people to take public health directives seriously.\u201cIf you don\u2019t want your favourite places to be closed, then respect the regulations.\u201d Across the province there were no new deaths, hospitalizations, or patients in intensive care, but the number of con?rmed cases climbed by 276.Testing numbers have consistently been above 20,000 since September 9.Anyone concerned about their own health or wondering if they or a loved one should get tested is encouraged to call the phone line: 1 877 644-4545.Appeal for caution CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 By Michael Boriero - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Louise Fontaine spends quite a bit of time around Sherbrooke\u2019s Lac des Nations, cycling, walking, eating lunch with friends, but she is beginning to lose interest due to the noise and air pollution caused by nearby trains.Fontaine reached out to The Record after she read a story in La Tribune about trains idling in Magog for over 40 hours.The news reminded her of the trains often left idling on the tracks hugging Lac des Nations.\u201cI cycle there often and I often bring a picnic with my boyfriend but lately, especially, I\u2019ve noticed trains idling there all day.Why?I don\u2019t know.It\u2019s not every day, but it happens often,\u201d said Fontaine.According to the Canadian Transportation Agency, trains idle for a number of reasons.Locomotives are left idling to allow oncoming trains to pass or for cars to be switched or picked up.They can be left idling for maintenance, inspections or repairs.It could be due to poor weather conditions, or even a crew change.But the most common reason why trains idle has to do with the fact that locomotive engines are not designed the same way as cars.A train can\u2019t be turned on and off like an automobile, and it\u2019s mostly related to safety standards.Idling maintains engine temperature, air pressure for the brake system, the integrity of the starting systems, and the electrical system.Locomotive engines also use water rather than antifreeze for coolant.This means trains cannot be shut down when the temperature drops below ?ve degrees Celsius.But Fontaine isn\u2019t buying that excuse.According to the 64-year-old, this shouldn\u2019t happen in 2020.\u201cI cannot believe they need to have it on all day long because it takes too long to start an engine,\u201d she said.\u201cI just ?nd that really lame.\u201d Fontaine believes these trains should be obsolete.Instead, she wants to see more environmentally- and noise-friendly options.She added that companies like Canadian Paci?c Railways hold too much power.The city of Sherbrooke told The Record that the situation is out of its hands.The trains sitting beside Lac des Nations don\u2019t belong in the city\u2019s jurisdiction.Last week, the Sherbrooke resident noticed one train in the area moved further down the rail.\u201cI don\u2019t even think I can do anything, but maybe with enough people complaining about it, it\u2019ll raise some ?ags somewhere important,\u201d she said.She speculates that someone made the decision to save bystanders from the noise and fumes.However, it\u2019s not enough, she continued, the whole situation is offensive and polluting the environment.Fontaine also wonders why there is a double standard.The Government of Canada recommends turning off your car engine if you\u2019re going to be stopped for more than 60 seconds, except in traf?c, to avoid producing greenhouse gases.\u201cI mean who wants to smell diesel, especially in a populated area like that and I\u2019m just amazed at the fact that they can do this and just get away with this,\u201d Fontaine said.Sherbrooke resident speaks out about idling trains at Lac des Nations MICHAEL BORIERO Page 4 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record We can do it! In eight days, the Governor General will read the Speech from the Throne \u2013 the minority Liberal government\u2019s roadmap to the future.Only nine months ago \u2013 a lifetime ago - Mme.Payette outlined Mr.Trudeau\u2019s priorities: ?ghting climate change, strengthening the middle class, walking the road of reconciliation, keeping Canadians safe and healthy and positioning Canada for success in an uncertain world.The goals are relevant and worthy.But if we get the same timid and incremental approaches that we\u2019ve had for the past several decades, we\u2019re done for.Says historian Guy Stanley, author of Rebuilding Liberalism, a former collaborator of mine and one of Canada\u2019s foremost thinkers about the future, \u201cThis Throne Speech is a once-in-a generation opportunity for the government to set out a bold and compelling plan to generate work and investment, increase real economic growth and productivity, see tangible results quickly and possibly reclaim leadership among the middle powers of the world.\u201d Canadians are quite capable of making big, bold moves that change society \u2013think universal healthcare and telephones.They have been gamechangers for everyone, but Canadians are really good at inventing things that change individual lives - think pablum and canola, walkie- talkies, AM radio, pacemakers, the electron microscope, pagers, snowmobiles, robotic hand, electric wheelchairs, insulin, Ebola vaccine, plexiglass, and the list goes on.Says Stanley, \u201cWhat\u2019s necessary today is that we spend a whack of money for good reasons.Think of this period as a wartime economy \u2013 during World War 2, we created national networks to encourage industry to make useful things.At the end of the war, that new infrastructure was tailored to huge pent-up demand for goods and services.\u201d Asked to cite a few policy proposals that would qualify as game changers, Stanley reeled off a couple that may make your eyes pop.\u2022 How about negotiating a deal with Alberta to get it out of the oil business?Part of that deal would be to set up other things to work on like a research facility to perfect the decarbonization of production processes.Another part would be to recognize and exploit Canadian resources that are increasingly in demand \u2013 lithium and rare earth minerals for example.\u2022 Instead of trying to make more pipelines, start thinking about Canada as a Paci?c power.Vancouver is the closest way to Asia, but our ports need a makeover.So does the railroad.But why not think about transportation that doesn\u2019t need tracks or roads \u2013 the technology exists and needs to be exploited.Stanley\u2019s ideas are echoed by many other forward-thinking Canadians.Georgina Black, a managing partner at Deloitte and one of Canada\u2019s \u201c100 most powerful women\u201d, writes in a Public Policy Forum monograph, \u201cOur transit, ports, electricity, and telephony infrastructure all continue to hold back our country\u2019s competitiveness.Taking inspiration from our history, governments should look to infrastructure as a way to stimulate the economy, build resilience to environmental and economic shocks, and enable a new period of growth\u2026 Our weak competitive position going into the pandemic makes our recovery from it more dif?cult.Canada\u2019s weakness in infrastructure holds back both trade and investment.Our lack of innovation means that our businesses don\u2019t have the cutting-edge technology or skills needed to compete with their global peers.Our regulations mean that businesses will ?nd it that much harder to grow.These challenges were slowing our economic growth prior to the crisis and will continue to do so post-crisis.For example, pre-pandemic, we estimated that the Canadian economy would grow at 1.6 percent annually over the next decade\u2014already signi?cantly lower than annual average growth of 2.2 percent in the preceding decade.\u201d Asked about the pushback from those who worry about the massive spending that\u2019s needed, Stanley says, \u201cIt\u2019s almost idiotic to think that this Throne Speech will talk about pursuing a \u201cresponsible\u201d ?scal plan\u2014 meaning talk about how the debt will be paid down.The trick is to make sure economic growth is higher than the interest rate.We can continue to exploit our resource and manufacturing industries, but we need to reinvent them.And we need to prioritize high- growth industries like e-commerce, digitization, health and data.\u201d Says Anthony Viel, CEO of Deloitte, \u201cDigital infrastructure is akin to the railroad and electricity networks that enabled previous industrial revolutions.A national ambition to be a digital country requires investment in digital infrastructure (broadband, 5G), getting on with digital identity, regulatory and privacy reforms, and digital literacy training, all with a commitment to ensure equitable access for businesses and people.\u201d As for Canadians who will work in this modern economy, income support and skills training have to be modernized to include gig, foreign, and temporary workers as well as racialized and Indigenous populations.We\u2019re living in an economy that was designed for the last century.The Throne Speech should outline a strategy that brings us into the 21st century.That means spending big bucks.It will pay off by creating the conditions for more of us to fully participate in the economy and society.Dian Cohen is an economist and founding organizer of the Massawippi Valley Health Centre.Cohendian560@gmail.com Dian Cohen FRESHSPECTRUM.COM Second annual Magog Myeloma March nearly reaches fundraising goal Record Staff A record 33 communities across Canada participated in the

soccer coach re?ects on transition from player to authority ?gure By Michael Boriero - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Sarah-Kim Bergeron started her Bishop\u2019s University varsity career when she joined the women\u2019s soccer team back in 2016 after transferring from the Trinity Western University (TWU) Spartans in British Columbia.The 27-year-old Quebec City native was an instrumental piece to the Spartans run of success.The B.C.team dominated women\u2019s university soccer for a number of years.Trinity Western claimed two national championship titles while she was on the team.But after ?ve years at TWU, and two ACL injuries later, she decided it was time to move closer to home.She lived out of province for nearly 10 years.Bergeron said it felt right to make a move back home, and Bishop\u2019s just made a lot of sense.\u201cI wanted to be closer to family and then I knew the head coach from my university and he had this vision of building the Bishop\u2019s scene from the ground up,\u201d Bergeron said.\u201cHe needed players and it kind of just worked out.\u201d She played two seasons with the Bishop\u2019s Gaiters before transitioning to assistant coach.During that time, Bergeron became a captain, leading the women\u2019s team on and off the ?eld.After the 2017 season, she earned the U SPORTS Student-Athlete Community Service Award.Bergeron is the ?rst Gaiter to win a major award at the U SPORTS level.She was a powerful voice in the locker room, but the award highlighted her devotion to growing the game in Lennoxville and within the English- speaking community.\u201cWe were bringing awareness to a women\u2019s soccer program and awareness to Bishop\u2019s as a whole,\u201d said Bergeron.\u201cIt was just a way for English kids to have a place to play soccer in a very French province.\u201d She became the coordinator of the Jr.Gaiters Soccer Academy in 2017.That summer, she became the head coach of the Jr.Gaiters Soccer Camp.This is where she developed a passing for coaching; something she never knew she would pursue in the near future.The academy grew really quickly, Bergeron explained.It started with 20 kids in the winter, but by the summer they were at 90 in total.The following year 50 kids showed up for the winter session and 108 kids showed up for the summer camp.\u201cWe just wanted to make soccer fun for kids,\u201d she said.\u201cHow can we actually spark that desire so that when they go to the biggest club here in Sherbrooke they would already have that passion that could actually help them build and become better soccer players.\u201d When the 2017 season wrapped up, Bishop\u2019s head coach Paul Ballard approached Bergeron, who is currently studying for her Master\u2019s in Education at the university, to take on coaching duties in 2018.Her experience with the academy gave her the con?dence to accept the assistant coach position.Bergeron said she learned that coaching is more than telling players what to do.With the Jr.Gaiters, she helped with recruiting, created a budget, and communicated with parents.\u201cIt really opened my eyes to coaching [\u2026] I never thought I would like it and I actually started loving it,\u201d said Bergeron.It was dif?cult moving from teammate to authority ?gure, she explained.The hardest part was learning how to teach her team what to do on the ?eld.She wasn\u2019t worried so much about fracturing any relationships with her former teammates, but rather being a good coach.\u201cFor me, it was about gathering all of the information, knowledge that I thought I knew, and being able to vocalize it properly to the girls,\u201d Bergeron said, adding that most of the things she did on the ?eld came naturally; she never knew how to explain it.Bergeron is one of a handful of women coaching at Bishop\u2019s University and she takes tremendous pride in that fact.She credits one of her former assistant coaches for giving her to courage to speak up.She admired the balance of having a woman\u2019s voice on the bench.Bergeron said she feels like having a woman\u2019s perspective, especially on a women\u2019s team, brings the players closer together.You become the glue, she concluded, and that\u2019s what she wants to be for Bishop\u2019s.\u201cI was thinking, at Bishop\u2019s, I kind of want to be that glue.I kind of want to be that girl that people can look up to, like, \u2018I want to be like her,\u2019 or whatever,\u201d said Bergeron.COURTESY Record Staff The Memphremagog Police Service announced that 27-year-old Vicky Champagne, reported missing last Monday, was found on Saturday, Sept.12 around noon in Magog.She is back with her family and in good health, police say.Missing Magog girl found more challenging in the workplace, he recognizes that no one gets sick on purpose.Another concern expressed both from members of the community and employees was that the monitoring of traf?c into and out of the store had stopped in recent weeks, contrary to the policy outlined by Joanne Héroux, Provigo\u2019s Senior Director of Corporate Affairs and Communications in Monday\u2019s article.Lafond denied this, however, stating that \u201cthere\u2019s always somebody monitoring.\u201d The store owner said that particular attention is paid in the afternoons, when more people tend to come to shop.Asked about the Lennoxville store\u2019s reduced capacity limit, Lafond said that there are not supposed to be more than 30 customers in the building at any given time.One store worker, who asked to remain anonymous, told The Record that the staff was actively discouraged from going to get tested because the wait for results would lead to missed shifts.Lafond denied this outright.\u201cNo, no, no,\u201d he said.\u201cI\u2019m not going to stop anybody from being tested.\u201d The store owner con?rmed that a specialized team had come out from Montreal to disinfect the building following the initial con?rmation and reiterated that everything is being done to follow public health directives and ensure the safety and security of staff and employees.\u201cWe\u2019re not hiding anything,\u201d he

committee and assistance fund will be created.\u201cWe really want to take care of our employees,\u201d he added.Some 272 employees were put out of work when the mill originally closed on April 3, but Majeau said that since that time 58 have either found another job within Kruger or elsewhere.An additional 25 employees will be able to keep their jobs, as the water treatment plant at the Brompton site will continue to operate and the biomass cogeneration plant will soon restart.As a result of the shutdown, Kruger\u2019s overall annual production will be reduced by 100,000 metric tons of newsprint and 70,000 metric tons of specialty paper.

later than it has in 15 years \u2014 on August 22.That\u2019s a mixed blessing.Increasing per capita consumption, population growth and rising greenhouse gas emissions had been moving the date earlier almost every year since the 1970s.It\u2019s fallen in late July or early August for the past few years.\u201cEarth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity\u2019s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year,\u201d according to the organization behind the concept, Global Footprint Network.Even with the later overshoot date, we burned through a year\u2019s resources in under eight months.That means we would need 1.6 Earths to support humanity\u2019s current demands on the planet\u2019s ecosystems.Employing the many readily available and emerging solutions to \u201cmove the date\u201d closer to year\u2019s end is the goal, but this later-than-expected overshoot day was largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic rather than direct measures to address the climate emergency and other crises.According to the Network, the global pandemic slowdown helped drive the world\u2019s carbon footprint (that is, emissions) down by 14.5 per cent and the forest product footprint by 8.4 per cent from 2019, with an overall 9.3 per cent reduction in humanity\u2019s global ecological footprint.Network president Mathis Wackernagel sees this year\u2019s result as an encouraging sign that progress is possible, but cautions that it must be made \u201cby design not by disaster.\u201d He compares our behaviour to a scam where current wealth must be repaid by others in the future: \u201cMost countries have pretty strict laws about businesses running Ponzi schemes but somehow in the ecological domain we think it\u2019s okay,\u201d he says in the Guardian.\u201cWe\u2019ve only got one planet and that\u2019s not going to change.We\u2019ve got a very simple choice, one-planet prosperity or one-planet misery.\u201d This further illustrates the need for a pandemic recovery that goes beyond returning to \u201cnormal\u201d and for measures to address environmental crises that go beyond pandemic recovery.Global Footprint Network focuses on ?ve areas: planet, cities, energy, food and population.Its research and solutions align with the work of many organizations, including Project Drawdown and the David Suzuki Foundation.Everything starts from the recognition that humanity depends on fertile soil and clean air and water for our well-being and health.Because cities already consume 78 per cent of the world\u2019s energy and produce more than 60 per cent of its greenhouse gas emissions, and we\u2019re becoming increasingly urban, \u201cCity planning and urban development strategies are instrumental to balancing the supply of natural capital and population\u2019s demand.\u201d The David Suzuki Foundation\u2019s energy transition research concurs that decarbonizing the economy is critical to addressing climate disruption.Shifting to more local food systems and plant- based diets, avoiding processed foods and reforming agricultural practices are also important.Rapid population growth is also unsustainable, although consumption is a much greater problem \u2014evidenced by the fact that the world\u2019s wealthiest 10 per cent produces close to half the world\u2019s consumption-related emissions, compared to just 10 per cent by humanity\u2019s poorest half.Research shows the best way to slow population growth is to empower women.With greater access to education and family-planning resources, as well as increased equality and better economic opportunities, women have fewer children and often have them later in life.Project Drawdown estimates family- planning resources and education for girls (which, it notes, should be basic human rights) could slow human population growth by one billion by 2050, consequentially keeping more than 85 gigatonnes of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere.Although slowing population growth is important, we can\u2019t resolve the climate crisis if we don\u2019t reduce the amount of resources we consume, especially in the developed world.As Global Footprint Network points out, we\u2019re consuming resources at a much faster rate than Earth is able to replenish them.That\u2019s led not just to the climate crisis, but also to a profound extinction and biodiversity crisis and continuing environmental devastation.COVID-19 has put humanity on pause and exposed some of our current system\u2019s ?aws.It has also shown that we can slow consumption and move on to something better than the old \u201cnormal.\u201d We\u2019re at a crossroads and we must act quickly.David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.Written with contributions from David Suzuki Foundation Senior Writer and Editor Ian Hanington.
