Inspirational moment
Sweden
beats Canada when it comes to garbage performance — that is, they do a better
job of recycling their waste.
As part of the Reduce, Reuse, Rethink series, CBC
News puts the spotlight on Sweden, where so little garbage is ending up in
landfills that they now import waste from other countries so it can be burned
to generate heat and electricity.
CBC News visited the Renova waste-to-power
station in Gothenburg where each year the plant provides 30 per cent of
district heating in the region's network, and 5 per cent of the electricity
needs of Gothenburg's population.
However, not everyone agrees that Sweden's
incineration program is the best example of reusing and recycling.

Canadiana
Indigenous people have a long and proud tradition of military
service in Canada. From the earliest days before Canada was even a country of
its own, through the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, post-war
peace support efforts, Afghanistan and on to the present day, thousands of
First Nations, Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous men and women have served
bravely and well in uniform.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
Inspirational Moment - inspires the gift of giving. Also
excellent and insightful article “On the Tracks of the Beast.” Great to see fellow Campbell River Rotarian
Janet Koch win the Rotary Guest winner!
And the Humour – A Millennial Job Interview. Classic!
I love it! Also, good to see Doug
Dyer as he continues his travels and adventures.
-- Andy Adams, Rotary Club of Campbell River, District 5020
Peace Pipe Project
Proposal (Yogi Reppsonn). I enjoy
learning about sociological research studies that attempt to preserve important history with peace pipes as central
theme and Rotary being engaged in the historical documentation process.
-- Velma Noble, Rotary Club of Calgary, District 5360
The Peace Pipe Proposal video is an interesting piece of
Rotary history.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
So nice to see Delwen’s message about the Fellowships. David’s involvement in the Caravanning
Fellowship and Sharon’s contribution to the Jukebox. This is what Rotary is all about – involvement
from our fellow members.
-- Elly Contreras, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Nora McInerny.
Wow! Just wow! Her words of wisdom on grief are still echoing. Thank you for bringing this to a meeting!
-- Lori Pollock, Swan City Rotary Club, District 5370
Moving On with Grief.
I love the variety of your programs – from the Canadiana to the cartoon
and songs to the moving program on grief.
I especially appreciated your sharing the story of the Haydn Society
concert and the boy who was so affected by the music. I’d heard the story on NPR, was happy to see
it on your site. Thanks for being there
for us!
-- Judy Redpath, Rotary Club of Herndon, Virginia, District 7610
Nora McInerny. The re-enforcement
of being a Rotarian. We can do much – -- make an effort.
-- Wayne Lannon, Rotary Club of Westlock, Alberta. District 5370

Speaker Program
How do you define "nature?"
If we define it as that which is untouched
by humans, then we won't have any left, says environmental writer Emma
Marris. She urges us to consider a new definition of nature -- one that
includes not only pristine wilderness but also the untended patches of
plants growing in urban spaces -- and encourages us to bring our
children out to touch and tinker with it, so that one day they might
love and protect it.
