The leader of the Ontario Greens, Frank de Jong, delivered 12 talks during his Australasian ‘Tools of Sustainability’ tour. Frank finished off with a bang in NZ with over 100 people hearing his talk in Auckland. Check his multimedia page here to see and hear some of his radio, TV and recorded speeches.

Frank was very strong at the True Cost Economics forum (TCE event report) on how the green tax shift can be used so that business does not face additional tax charges in the race to address climate change. An increase in carbon taxes must be counter-balanced by a decrease in payroll & consumption taxes.
