I used to think that we needed to be careful of the environment in order to save it for generations to come. However, recently it has become obvious to me that nature’s abundance has fallen noticeable over the last decade and if major adjustments are not made, ongoing negative factors will escalate in a downward spiral. There will not be anything of value left for this generation let alone our children. My quilt depicts one such negative factor. BC’s capital city, Victoria is dumping 129 million litres of raw waste into the ocean daily through their two Outfall stations. Should not our leaders be leading the way when it comes to fighting for our very future? Is the tomorrow in my piece the one that will be or will we react in time to turn back the clock?
