Time to get weaned from pipeline products

Re: “UVic urged to cut Enbridge pension ties,” Jan. 11.

 

So, the Western Canada Wilderness Committee and Prof. Andrew Weaver at the University of Victoria want the university to stop investing part of the university pension fund in Enbridge.

One can only hope that they will in future, if they haven’t already, also stop using the products of pipelines when they go back and forth to work, and go on conferences and holidays. The same applies to cooking their meals, heating and illuminating their homes.

Perhaps David Suzuki can be inspired by this and stop transporting tonnes of equipment around the world, with the products from pipelines, to get a few minutes of film for his television programs, similarly using power made from the products of pipelines to make power for us to view them.
