One of the coolest things about being in Vancouver for the film festival is that I get to meet some of the people behind the films. On opening night, I met Gary Marcuse, director of Waking the Green Tiger, and I was immediately charmed by his passion for both storytelling and for the environment. Yesterday, we had a quick moment between screenings to chat about his film, which has its world premiere today.

“That’ll be $5 billion dollars, please, m’am.” I have bad dreams about this. About what would happen if we did nothing about climate change. A report released yesterday by the National Roundtable on Environment and Economy showed that, if we don’t cut emissions causing climate change, Canada alone will be faced with a $5 billion dollar tab in fewer than 10 years. By 2050, we could be paying four to eight times that amount.
