- Whose water is it, anyway? : taking water protection into public hands / by Barlow, Maude,author.;
"The Blue Communities Project is dedicated to three primary things: that access to clean, drinkable water is a basic human right; that municipal and community water will be held in public hands; and that single-use plastic water bottles will not be available in public spaces. With its simple, straightforward approach, the movement has been growing around the world for a decade. Today, Paris, Berlin, Bern, and Victoria are just a few of the cities that have made themselves Blue Communities. In Whose Water Is It, Anyway?, renowned water justice activist Maude Barlow recounts her own education in water issues as she and her fellow grassroots water warriors woke up to the immense pressures facing water in a warming world. Concluding with a step-by-step guide to making your own community blue, Maude Barlow's latest book is a heartening example of how ordinary people can effect enormous change."--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Blue Communities Project.; Right to water.; Water resources development.; Water resources development; Water-supply.; Water-supply; Water security.;

- Teardown : rebuilding democracy from the ground up / by Meslin, Dave,author.;
"Something is wrong with democracy. We can all see it's not working. From the recent American election to Brexit, around the word and close to home, the headlines are full of examples of governments misleading their people, parties misleading their delegates, and policy drifting further and further away from what polls keep showing people want. We always vote for change, and yet we always end up with the same old lies. If this just the way democracy works, we should just give up. If the game is rigged, why play it? But as Dave Meslin's career has shown, we can un-rig it. We can get rid of the corrupting influence of money on policy. We can get rid of governments that ignore their constituents. We can take away the blank cheques we write to our leaders each election. But a huge part of that is overcoming our own apathy. And that comes from knowing how to get things done. It's hard to change the world if you can't change a municipal by-law. Unrigged will show readers how to do both. And it will show us that these two challenges are not fundamentally different. Once we know that we can do it, and we know how to do it, we can get democracy working for us rather than against us. From throwing back the curtain of secrecy surrounding City Hall to the ongoing campaign for electoral reform, Dave Meslin has been both out on the street in marches and in the back rooms drawing up policy. With Unrigged he shows us how it's done."--- Subjects: Democracy; Political participation;
