Suzuki, a former educator, spoke to more than 500 Nunavut teachers and administrators about the ecological challenges facing the planet and about the need to re-evaluate unchecked consumerism. More than 600 educators from across the territory are expected to participate in the conference, which has closed most Nunavut schools until the end of the week. (PHOTO BY DEAN MORRISON)
