We’re gambling that several of the articles in this thought-provoking issue will give you at least a few “aha, I never thought about it that way” moments. To see for yourself, push up your sleeves, grab a cuppa holiday cheer and read one of three articles you can download for free.

Choose from Wayne Robert’s delightful description of edible insects, Brendon Larson’s controversial take on invasive species or Lawson Hunter’s love affair with a green tax shift.

If we’re right, and you’re left pondering what you’ve just read, subscribe to Alternatives today and read about more ideas that will propel us toward a more sustainable future.
