Issue #1: Farmed Salmon | Issue #4: Citizenship
Based on the materials presented in Ecotrust’s Section Z publications — which ran as additions to the usual newspaper sections A, B and C in San Francisco, Portland and Seattle from January 2003 to April 2004 — these comics are fully footnoted and present some of the big ideas that are making our economy safe for people and nature.
Just Ask: 
Is it Wild?
Choose wild salmon; don’t eat farmed. Just ask "Is it wild?" before buying or ordering salmon. Choosing wild is better for you, the fish, our local fishing communities, and the oceans.
Sally Salmon will tell you why on this slideshow tour…
Buy Local!
Buy locally produced food. Supporting local growers is good for Salmon Nation in more ways than one: not only will meals be tastier, but owner-operated farms help preserve the kind of open spaces near which we all like to live.

Just Ask: Is it FSC?
Look for Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood products. Wood is good as a building material, both environmentally and for our rural communities. When we harvest according to FSC guidelines, we can have good lumber and restore our forests, too.
