We’re also building a webpage of resources for further information and sources to help keep you informed. Check it out...
 The World we Want
Want to be inspired? Look no further than Francis Moore Lappé and her latest book EcoMind, which challenges us to change the way we think so we can help create the world we want.
The Perfect Gift
If you’re in Ontario and looking for a great stocking stuffer, USC Canada has organized two inspirational talks with Lappé - in Toronto and Ottawa - coming up in the New Year. Click here for ticket info.
Seven Myths and Thought Traps
Lappé has identified seven myths in her latest book, EcoMind, and provides a way out for each.
Leading up to her Canadian visit, we’ll be taking a look at each of these myths and we hope to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Have your say on our facebook page, where we’ve already started the conversation about the first myth: No-Growth is the Answer.
