PRIME TIME, Sold out on newsstands (and sold out tonight) – Alternatives Journal

Thanks for all of your continuing support and friendship to Alternatives.

We are so excited about the response to Alternatives’ first issue of 2008: Out of the Box. It’s sold out on various newsstands (while accolades roll in). Also sold out is the concert we organized to launch Out of the Box. Award-winning Rose Cousins will be live at the Princess Cafe tonight.

THIS IS SUCH A PRIME TIME TO SUBSCRIBE TO ALTERNATIVES.
The Out of the Box issue is a great intro to Alternatives and we are just as excited about the issues that are now shaping up on our lineup*.

Please introduce your friends and colleagues to Alternatives. We want to offer a FREE copy of Out of the Box to people who subscribe to Alternatives between now and Feb. 15.

To subscribe, simply go to “subscribe” on our website:
http://www.alternativesjournal.ca/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,120/
and use this special offer code: PRIME when providing your subscription information.

This will work for gift subscriptions and 2-yr subscriptions (which save another $10).

*ON THE LINEUP:
— Environmental Literature will review top environmental books and feature essays from some amazing and esteemed writers in the field.
— Near Urban Lands is one of the most contentious and important topics across the nation. Competition for the tracts of land around cities is sometimes fierce
— food producers, conservationists, developers have their own reasons why and how these lands should be managed.

Alternatives’ Near Urban Lands issue is supported thanks two of the of the most accomplished, innovative and active organizations in Canada: the Metcalfe Foundation and the Greenbelt Foundation.

THANKS FOR HELPING US SPREAD THE WORD. At the same time you are helping to keep YOUR ALTERNATIVES vibrant.
