Changing Values for a Sustainable Future

On the 10th Anniversary of the Rio Earth Summit the Sierra Club of Canada
and the Kingston Society for Conservation Biologists are calling on all
those who care about the deteriorating state of our natural and human
environments to come together for a major four day conference.

The Vision: One thousand Canadian activists, inspirational keynote
speakers, challenging workshops, music, art, film and fun. Seasoned
environmental campaigners and grassroots organizers developing and sharing
strategies for fundamental change.

The Goals:
* A reinvigorated and expanded environmental movement
* A Peoples' Agenda to the G-8 Summit and the U.N. World Summit on
Sustainable   	Development in Johannesburg 2002
* Four days that will change your life, open your mind and make your work
for change 	work!

Canadian NGOs and coalitions are encouraged to "piggy-back" their meetings
within the People and the Planet Conference. Your organization will have
open time on the first two days for your meetings. Recommendations from
issue-based caucuses will be brought forward to be adopted by the whole in
plenary sessions during the final two days of the conference. All
participants will hear keynotes designed to expand our thinking to address
the profound challenge of our time - changing values for a sustainable world.

Invited Speakers include: Maude Barlow, Mikhail Gorbachev, Raffi, John
Ralston Saul, Margaret Atwood, Sara Larraine, Oronto Douglas, Gerry Mander,
R.H. Thompson, and more…
