GET A LIFEr' Citr politicians who want te travel te Hong Kong and other worldly places for the benefits of the local economy should take time te read 'Cet a IÀfe! ... A Green Cure for Canada's Economic Blues.' The newly-publisBhed 127- mte book, researched and written ~eÏmn eetJohn Bac er and Brian Nelson, omphasizes ~otnce of communities becoming self-reliant and bs depe nt on foreign trade. Té become a community of diverse tents and home-proud attitudes makes more environrnental and economical sense than searching for global markets. The book, whichi I purchased at an environmental fair, is well documented throughout and includes such quetes as: "The local economty is like a pail with bobos in it. The trick is te plug sonie of the holes, net peur in more water. Diversity l the key te security"; and "Comxnunity ecenoic development is absoluteby essential for women te sucoeed. If we de thinga locally, it's easier for woxnen with children, and if we woik fromn a local focua and identify health and envirernental needs, we can work te empower people ini ways that make a difference." With these thoughts in mmid, it apipears that a politician would be on target if ho or ahe stated tht it woubd be btter te aee nioney alloted for g lobai jaunting epent on building a firm economic base within the community. 'Cet a Life' is filled wîth ideas and solutions te motivate people te become bass reliant on inega-projects, foreign rnarkets an gvernment intervention. The book was aise deaigned te atir debate abut g"en economics and the new politica. The authre main ideas came from their work with the Toronto-based Coalition for a Green Economic Recovery, a antor f menetrpeneurs, community-based businesses adpolitically hoees activists who want te talk about solutions, not problems.
