Straight Outta Gabriola . . ."it's island time"

The antidote to fear and despair is hope and action.

With all the pressures on society and the climate, I talk with Gabriola-changemaker, Fay Weller about the rays of hope she sees in the grassroots of community activism. We dive into the work of Sustainable Gabriola and pull out the common threads of what makes this island so good at environmental and social activism.

We also talk about the book Fay and Mary Wilson teamed up to write, “Changemakers – Embracing Hope, Taking Action and Transforming the World”. It’s a guidebook for ordinary people who want to create a new society now. Published by New Society Publishers
