Johan thinks that the world is a better place because of:

• Right On Canada - campaign to put human rights back on Canada's agenda
• George Monbiot's blog - this brilliant journalist-activist's blog will keep you updated on all things green
• Beautiful City Billboard Fee (BCBF) - let's tax the corporate billboards towering in our public spaces to raise money for art and beautification of Toronto
• The Long Emergency Blog - great blog compiling articles on peak oil (NOTE: the blog is not written by J.H. Kunstler though articles by him are featured here)
• Culture Change - demonstrating alternatives to sprawl and petroleum dependence while fighting unwise development such as new road construction.
• Brave New Theaters - the film production company created by indefatigable activist and director Robert Greenwald who is behind many excellent documentaries such as Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, Iraq For Sale and Outfoxed
• New Urbanism - a movement promoting the creation of sustainable communities
• Spacing - great Toronto magazine dedicated to public space (or lack thereof)
• newmindspace - "interactive public art, creative cultural interventions and urban bliss dissemination based in New York and Toronto."
• Friends of the Earth - the largest international network of environmental groups in the world
• Glencolton Farms - Michael Schmidt's beautiful Durham ON farm, where we played a wind-powered show in Aug 2007. Support Michael as he fights the government for the right to deliver organic raw milk to those who want it.
• Turning the Tide Bookstore - my favourite bookstore on the Canadian tour circuit. The selection of documentaries for rent is amazing. The kids in Saskatoon are lucky to have this gem in their backyard.
• Another Story Bookshop - my beautiful neighbourhood bookstore has a great collection of literature on social justice, equity, diversity and sustainablity, and was kind enough to sponsor our Sustainable Living Day
• CorpWatch - working to foster democratic control over corporations
• The Yes Men - prankster activism at its best (see the documentary The Yes Men)
• Greg Palast - maybe the world's foremost investigative reporter
• PlanetFriendly - great resource of links to sustainable living guides etc
• John Southworth - the most original songwriter I know
• Dan Goldman - fantastic guitarist & extremely clever songwriter
• Bob Wiseman - my neighbourhood DIY hero
• Brian MacMillan - "It's like having Paul Simon in your living room!" a musician friend exclaimed at an intimate BMac show (he also happens to be the sweetest guy on the block)
• Global Aware - organization for social and environmental justice
