Sea Sick
Alanna Mitchell
We call this planet “Earth,” although water covers about 75% of its surface. This discrepancy has undoubtedly influenced the way we have historically regarded the world’s oceans: as seemingly endless dumping grounds and inexhaustible sources of seafood and other commodities. As the pernicious effects of climate change exacerbate millennia of abuse, is it too late to save the oceans?

Blue Covenant
Maude Barlow
“The global water crisis is the first face of climate change. Protecting our water sources is as crucial as curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Maude Barlow has for decades been a leading voice for water sustainability and justice. In Blue Covenant, she shows us the way.” –David Suzuki, award-winning scientist, environmentalist, broadcaster and author of The Sacred Balance
