    After 44 years, David Suzuki retired as the host for The Nature of Things. As "elder environmentalist" Suzuki prepares to retire, he takes a look at his habits and habitat - and what's next for The Nature of Things.

    Well deserved, sir! I remember watching when I was a child in the late 80s and early 90s with my mom. My sister deidre shared a canoe trip with him once in the late 90s in Vancouver that was a field trip for native american children. I wasn't able to attend as I was in a long house in mission bc on my own native american field trip. School District 49 had this special class for us natives and that's how she got to meet Sir David Suzuki

    Thanks Mr. Suzuki! I've been with you since the start. You've done a great job. For the show, I would suggest a return to the original format of being on camera and on-site, instead of a "celebrity voice over". The show lost the magic it had in the 80s. After 40 years of viewing, I consider the gold standard of science journalism today to be Anton Petrov's work. He's not on-site, but always on camera and explains things with the same clarity and enthusiasm that David had in the 80s. I'd give him a periodic segment on the show.

    The idea that human beings have been born for thousands upon thousands of years. The fact that you and I were born so close on the timeline that we actually get to spend time with one another isn't something that should be taken for granted. We could have been born thousands of years apart.
