While American environmentalists have been pondering their alleged demise and/or plotting their resurrection, Canadian activists are confronting a whole ‘nother set of challenges. Matt Price of Conservation Voters of B.C. tackles many of them in a new paper, “Greening the Beaver: Power, Profit, and the Canadian Dream” [PDF].
He starts off by arguing that Canada’s new conservative PM Stephen Harper could be just what the nation’s green movement needs to shake it into action. He also says eco-activists need to get over their ambivalence about power, learn to make markets work for the betterment of the environment, and ensure that environmental values are a key component of Canadian values. Lots more good stuff too. Check out the full PDF, Canadians.
