Over 30 Years on One CD!

Alternatives has promoted social justice for 40 years. Now the bulk of its educational work is being made available on one CD-ROM.

The collection "Simply the Best: Over 30 Years of Alternatives" shares the joy of simpler living, the urgency and practicality of sustainability, and the need for social justice.

This collection encourages and equips individuals to live more simply for their own happiness and for the health of Earth and all its creatures.

The CD-ROM allows editors of paper-based and electronic publications to "cut and paste" images and quotations electronically.

This resource has been developed specifically to expand personal inspiration, interpersonal influence and public advocacy. Anyone who is curious or committed to simpler living, sustainability or social justice can use this resource. It offers motivation and hope.

These materials are designed for excerpting in publications (paper and electronic), such as newsletters, church bulletins and web sites. Also, they are suitable for personal inspiration, for sharing with friends and for spreading the word about simpler living... anywhere and everywhere!
