- The environment & environmentalism
- Feminism
- Positive futures
- Peace-building
Our resources are great for research projects, facilitating discussions, or background information for group work or individual research. Some of our resources include:
- Books by bell hooks, Joanna Macy, Wendell Berry, David Suzuki and others
- Periodicals and magazines, including Yes! Magazine, Adbusters, Island Catholic News, The Ecologist, Resurgence, Utne Reader, and Z Magazine
- Films on social change themes, such as forestry, development, corporations, human rights, and globalization
- Reports and factsheets on social change topics, from groups such as Amnesty International, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Corporate Watch, United Nations, Council of Canadians
This page will house a list of resources available at EcoEcu House, and will also feature articles from the Internet, and links to important organizations working for change. Thought-provoking readings and links will be added in the Net Prophets section below.

A Clearing in the Forest by Derek Evans |
With another tragic murder in Northern Ireland, what are the prospects for peace? For members of Corrymeela, a Christian-based community in Northern Ireland, the answer lies in getting beyond fear and becoming "prisoners of hope."
Starhawk writes from Balata refugee camp in Palestine, where she was an international human rights observer. This is an eyewitness account of the brutality of Israeli occupation, and the beauty of human compassion.
Derek Evens writes about his experience of discernment in a time of personal transition, after he met a father in Guatemala whose son had "disappeared."If you would like to suggest new readings to us from the internet, please e-mail us at:
