If YOU were Prime Minister, what would you do for the environment? David Suzuki wants to know, and he's embarking on a cross-Canada election-style campaign to find out. The objectives of the tour is for Canadians to give David Suzuki their united voice for political action on the environment and to inspire people to take action, both on a community level and politically.

Public concern for environmental issues has reached record levels and this happens to coincide with an upcoming federal election. Now is the time to speak up and get leaders of all parties to commit to real action on the environment!
