Earth Hour

March 26, 2011 marks the third international Earth Hour celebration. People everywhere are demanding urgent action from their governments to drastically reduce pollution in all its forms, including human-caused carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels - the cause of global warming.

They will also be assessing their own and their community's environmental footprint and taking steps - beyond Earth Hour - to reduce their adverse impact on the Earth - our only home.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
- Mahatma Gandhi

Book a Collector’s Item

Wild Alberta at the Crossroads
is now virtually a collectors’ item.  So be sure to visit one of our retailers (do 'phone ahead for book availability) to obtain a copy of this award-winning Alberta book.

Taking a Break

The authors Marian and Robin White have had a hectic few years' writing, publishing, and marketing Wild Alberta at the Crossroads and presenting slide shows — not to mention coping with deaths in the family, surgeries, etc.  So they are taking time out for rest and recreation.  But they'll be back!
