Conservation Art Contest

These are my entries for the Ontario Public Service's Energy Conservation Art Contest...

Unsustainable
Highway expansion may solve traffic congestion in the short-term, but it is not sustainable. Highway 401, shown here, has 18 lanes of traffic through Toronto and no more land available for expansion. We need to get cars off the road by providing better alternatives.

Trillium
We all need to do our part to keep Ontario beautiful. This trillium was one of thousands seen on the Oak Ridges Moraine trail one morning in May 2007. These green spaces are treasures and we must treat them as such so future generations can also enjoy them.


If Geese Could Talk, Would We Listen?
We need to listen to the environment around us. Currently there is a huge dependency on economic growth. Oscar Wilde once said, “nowadays people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing”. What do we really value?
