An Ecotopia for Climate Protection

There are so many pessimists out there that say it just can't be done, we just can't possibly become carbon neutral, there's no way we'll make it, it's too late to stop global warming. I've never believed any of that, but evidence to refute the naysayers is hard to come by. Well here is a story that shows it is possible, and it's not hard to do or even that expensive.

An Ecotopia for Climate Protection: Samso Island Is Face of Danish Green Revolution

Samso is a small community, but cities and agricultural communities working together can become a perfect system - a balanced economy of energy that results in a net zero effect on the environment. Metro Vancouver is a perfect place to create such an economy - we have vibrant and increasingly dense, sustainable cities right next door to the most productive farmland in Canada, mountains with endlessly renewable supplies of wood and fresh water, and an ocean and all the life and energy it produces. Metro Vancouver is the perfect place to take Samso's idea and scale it to a major region.
