Welcome to Resurgence - a magazine for people who care about the environment, love reading, enjoy new ideas and are looking for inspiration on sustainable living.
Sustaining Life
The new issue of Resurgence includes a special feature on ecological health and focuses on the link between a healthy planet and healthy people.
