Guy Dauncey is well-known for his environmental endeavours - being the president of British Columbia Sustainable Energy Association, publisher and editor of EcoNews and author of Stormy Weather: 101 Solutions to Global Climate Change. But what you may not know is that federal Green leader Elizabeth May recently appointed him to her shadow cabinet, as the party's climate change critic. So does that mean he's going to be running in Victoria during the next election? In an interview on Public Eye Radio, Mr. Dauncey said "I still haven't decided myself."

"You're looking at a huge sacrifice. And, on top of that, you get the media and the general public thinking you're just up to no good because you're a politician and not understanding that's the realm of serious sacrifice - when you're flying to Ottawa every week, eight hours a week only with your family. And during that time you've got to change the lightbulbs, clean the greenhouse and fix all the practical things. So that's one of my big concerns - plus having to stop so much of what I'm doing at the moment. And, plus, do I have more influence as an individual without party affiliation."
