Pour ne pas perdre le Nord

  “Dans le Grand Nord comme partout, le dépotoir hors de la vue finit toujours par rappeler son existence et par s'imposer. Ici, on n'a pas choisi de payer pour envoyer les déchets plus loin ou chez les autres. Pour l'effort, pour la récupération et le recyclage, bravo!”

  “OK - je ne suis pas francophone (pas tres bien), donc je voudrais commenter en anglais. I have the greatest respect for the efforts undertaken by the people portrayed in this film. However, there have been statements made (especially by the anglophone scientist - perhaps because I can understand him better than the francophones) that may be interpreted by the local community as arrogant - par exemple - l'usage du mot 'them' pour les citoyens d'Iqaluit. I have noticed the same tone from environmentalists in the US (where I live). Unfortunately, their admirable aims may be misconstrued by others as plain arrogance. Perhaps the consideration of their (the locals') aesthetic desires, or at least an inquiry into what they would perceive as advantageous to their community, and a plan stemming from such an inquiry might encourage greater community involvement. On ne peut pas changer toute le monde seule - one can't change everything by one's self.”

  “Vraiment lorsque nous regardons ceci, nous voyons que nous ne fessons vraiment pas attention a la nature, qui est notre terre.”
