50 Simple Things You Can Do . . . To Stay In Denial

"Razor-sharp critique packaged as cute-kid-and-funny-animal cartoon."

-Booklist

Pretty much sums it up perfectly.
"it" being a graphic novel by Derrick Jensen, illustrated by Stephanie McMillan, provocatively titled AS THE WORLD BURNS: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial.

the cover jumped out at me at the makeshift bookstore of San. Fran.'s Global Summit. PFD agreed to get it [in the name of expanding SDH's library].
200 pages later we agreed: stellar impulse buy!
A powerful mixture of blunt honesty and quirky, optimistic characters this book leaves you feeling purposeful (with s sense of urgency, no sitting on your butt after this book!)
I would recommend this book to an adolescent, an adult and a senior, truly a very current, must-read graphic novel.

I give it two thumbs up.

Amazing Event in Nelson

Here are some photos from the human formation event at lakeside soccer field this afternoon, with Benjamin Jordan: (from the Capitol Theatre promo for his film shown Friday evening- which was great!)
Local aerial photographer, Benjamin Jordan, will capture the first ever West Kootenay Community Formation and would like to extend a personal invitation to Nelson residents to be part in this event. This March marks the launch of his Above + Beyond Kootenays initiative which connects his local fundraising efforts to the local youth camp, Tipi Camp. Other fundraising events include a month-long photography gallery at Oso Negro cafe and the Canadian Premier of his cross-Canada paragliding documentary film DREAM at the Capitol, March 25 at 7:30 p.m. ($10 Adults, $5 Children, Tickets at Otter Books) The photograph will be made up of 300-plus community members connecting in the shape of a river flowing through mountains and is intended to serve as a reminder of the power of our community and the love we share for our environment. It will be sold online and at local stores afterwards to raise funds to send West Kootenay children from low-income homes to Tipi Camp, a remote access nature camp on the East Shore which focuses on wilderness immersion for self esteem.
