EcoMENA has taught me about an Islamic connection to the environment and how God likes people who keep themselves clean. Blogs.com has taught me about David S Suzuki’s childhood and relationship with his dad. Weebly.com had some was a timeline of David Suzuki’s life and important events. As well, a book called The David Suzuki Reader A Lifetime of Ideas from a Leading Activist and Thinker is a book David put all his unpublished essays in to a book. It inspires me that over the past 25 years he wrote all those essays, worked hard, and never gave up.
