This issue of Alternatives takes readers into a realm where the actions of government, corporations, citizens and middle institutions such as schools converge to transform society as we know it. It’s a place where the environment receives its due respect. Where, as peace activist Ursula Franklin suggested in a 1994 address at the University of Waterloo, the Canadian government looks at “nature in the way it looks at the United States: as a tremendous, sometimes dangerous power with which one must live.”
