David is a four-time elected member of the Legislative Assembly, representing Fredericton-Lincoln, and the current (as of October 2026) leader of the Green Party of New Brunswick.\nIn this episode, we talked about the particular geopolitical environment that led to those pioneering homes, the journey the movement has taken since, where and why we're falling short of what seemed a promising low-energy-demand future, and what David has observed in his decade-plus spent as a sitting member of the New Brunswick Legislature.\nConnect with David and The Green Party of New Brunswick: \nDavid on LinkedIn => https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-coon-49362471/\nDavid on Facebook => https://www.facebook.com/DavidCoonNB\nDavid on Instagram => https://www.instagram.com/davidccoon\nDavid's Green Party Caucus page => https://greencaucusvert.ca/david-coon-fredericton-lincoln/\nThe Green Party of New Brunswick on Facebook => https://www.facebook.com/GPNB.PVNB\nThe Green Party of New Brunswick on Instagram => https://www.instagram.com/greennbvert/\nThe Green Party of New Brunswick website => https://www.greenpartynb.ca/\nThe Ark for Prince Edward Island => https://peiark.com/\nSaskatchewan Conservation House => https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saskatchewan_Conservation_House","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/zz7ACC0Do6d_ub0dsKpJEx0G2ZHhWXZEasIUPlYea9Y/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MGU4/Njc2YzFhMDMyODYx/NmE3MWRkOGI1ZWI1/OTY3YS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
