PictureFay Weller (with the sheep Mi, or is it Yu??)
The antidote to fear and despair is hope and action.
 
With all the pressures on society and the environment,    I talk with Gabriola-changemaker, Fay Weller about the rays of hope she sees in the grassroots of community activism. We dive into the work ofSustainable Gabriola and pull out the common threads of what makes this island so good at environmental and social activism.
 
We also talk about the book Fay and Mary Wilson teamed up to write, “Changemakers – Embracing Hope, Taking Action and Transforming the World”.

It’s a guidebook for ordinary people who want to create a new society now. Published in 2018 by New Society Publishers.
