I read a great book this week called "Notes From Canada's Young Activists: A Generation Stands Up For Change". It was compiled and edited by Severn Cullis-Suzuki, Kris Frederickson, Ahmed Kayssi, Cynthia Mackenzie and Daniel Aldana Cohen. The book is a series of essays by many young people making positive impacts all over the world but, who happen to be Canadian. Without listing everyone who participated in the book, I will say that there are some amazing people with incredible stories within its cover. If you are looking for inspiration on how you can impact the world and how you can find the courage to stand up for what you believe in, then look no further than this book. The twenty-five or so stories explain just how they have done what they do and even give some useful pointers on how you can do the same. I picked up my copy at Chapters but it is available at all major bookstores both online and on the shelf. It is an easy read but full of useful information to follow up on and learn more about. A section at the end gives a listing of websites and books that are very useful, especially here in Canada, for outlets and associations, among other things, that you can get involved with to help you become an activist as well. Maybe even one day in the near future you will be included in the second edition.
