[All] Nov 10th "Our Environmental Future"

[Susan Koswan]

I just started reading Evan Fraser's book, Empires of Food, which I would
highly recommend and can lend out once I write my review for the Record.
Actually, if anyone is interested in borrowing from my growing library of
books that I've reviewed, I can pull together a list of them and circulate
it. Many of them are eco books.
