This film is 1:45 minutes, so my advice is for you to allow the video to fully download BEFORE playing it, so click pause and watch the red bar extend itself, THEN press play.

Wether Salt Spring becomes a municipality or not, the Natural Step is the most practical approach to sustainability, and Ken answers all the questions Saltspringer's might raise.

Great commentary on the challenges and opportunities communities face. We need this long term perspective to take hold across Canada. Lets hope other communities take notice and candidates take notice in the upcoming Municipal elections.
