Eco-Innovators: Sustainability in Atlantic Canada, officially launched in Halifax on October 10, 2011 and again in Charlottetown on December 5. It is available now in bookstores across Atlantic Canada. "It is the best sustainability book that I have read since Geography of Hope," says Richard MacLellan, Halifax's Sustainable Environment Manager. Arts East Magazine named it to its Top 10 Atlantic Canadian Books of 2011 list - coming in at number 5 and joining luminaries like Sue Goyette,
Wayne Johnston, Ami McKay, Marq de Villiers, Harry Thurston, and David Adams
Richards.
Eco-Innovators is a collection of
stories about the region’s most forward-thinking leaders in
sustainability. These entrepreneurs and educators, activists and
agitators, farmers and fishers have all made measurable contributions in
their respective fields of interest and in motivating others to make
change in their own communities. Each launch featured people from the book telling their own stories, and an MC (CKDU's Erica Butler in Halifax and author Jeff Bursey on PEI, who also doubled as photo/videographer).
