Climate change is all over the news, but have you heard of climate justice?
Across Canada and around the globe, people are organizing to highlight the human impacts of climate change, and to make sure our solutions focus on social justice, equality and empowerment – not just buying carbon offsets for BP's latest oil spill. This year, The Dominion, Canada's grassroots news magazine, made a commitment to tell some of those stories, and the result is their latest special issue, A People's Forecast.

RESOURCED is a new portfolio piece from the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, a decentralized network of 26 artists committed to making print and design work that reflects a radical social, environmental, and political stance. An "exhibition in a book," it features 26 large print works exploring how the toxic, hazardous, and ecologically devastating impact from resource extraction, all while consumers experiment with greener lifestyles.
