1. Jack McGinnis passed away in January of """this year""".
The Toronto resident is credited with the design and pilot
projects for a simple device that has become an international
icon of environmental consciousness. What was McGinnis's
innovation?
2. This Montreal-born environmental activist is credited with
founding that city's curbside recycling program. In Edmonton,
he once locked himself in a safe in Ralph Klein's office to
protest the province's stand on the Kyoto Accord. In 2000
he ran a distant but creditable second to Mel Lastman in the
Toronto mayoralty race. Name him.
