SUSTAINABILITY: Radical Solutions Inspiring Hope

by Bob Banner, Joannaa Macy, Howard Zinn

An anthology of the BEST of HopeDance, a periodical focusing on radical solutions inspiring hope. Essays include such notable figures as Howard Zinn, Richard Heinberg, Wendell Berry, James Howard Kunstler and Desmond Tutu, while others are penned by local activists unknown outside their own communities. The varied voices all passionately speak about the changes that can be wrought in our own backyards both literally and figuratively. We can save fossil fuel and create community by growing food in our yards and initiating potlucks with our neighbors; we can create community gathering places; we can support local farmers and independent business owners; and we can use alternative energy sources..... In addition to providing ideas, inspiration, and humor, the anthology provides reassurance and awareness. Reassurance that our own efforts, no matter how seemingly small, do make a difference, and awareness that together we are starting a revolution -- television be damned. - Shawna Galassi (see the full review in HopeDance #66.
