Beyond Attitude Consulting acknowledges we operate in Mi’kma’ki – the unceded territory and ancestral homeland of the Mi’kmaq First Nation. Our relationship is based on a series of Peace and Friendship treaties between the Mi’kmaq First Nation and the Crown, dating from 1725 to 1779. In 1999 the Supreme Court of Canada, in R v Marshall, upheld the 1752 treaty “which promised Indigenous Peoples the right to hunt and fish their lands and establish trade.”
We also acknowledge that we work and play in many unceded territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across North America, and respect the rights and traditions of the many First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples therein.
We are all Treaty People.
China urges public to walk, ride bikes to help cut smog

This is an interesting development in China. This instruction was in August, and it does suggest that the Chinese government expects that individual behaviour change plays an important role in environmental quality. I hope there will be some research available that quantifies the incidence of behaviour change and the change in environmental indicators.
Obviously China’s air quality issues do not rest solely on the behaviours of its citizens. But on the other hand, with a population of 1.4 billion residents, there may be significant benefits if they can get people to make some simple changes to their environmental behaviours.
