Story of SHIFT

SHIFT magazine is a project of Sustainability Showcase, an Australia-based
registered charity whose aim is to help society prepare for the converging
crises of ecological and economic decline, and post-peak resources.

The SHIFT team is a coalition of volunteers who share a passion for free
and honest public discourse, and the need for media that addresses
society’s issues of greatest concern. Disappointed by the misdirected
attention of the mainstream media, and much of the alternative media, the
team decided to embark on a mission to sow some seeds for a more honest,
engaging and empowering discourse.

As Global Citizens it’s about time we stopped whinging about the meager
offerings of the mainstream media, and reclaimed the public discourse for
ourselves. SHIFT encourages readers to submit their own contributions and
participate actively in determining a new cultural discourse.

SHIFT magazine is produced by an all-volunteer team, and all contributors
to SHIFT do so on a voluntary donor basis. SHIFT is resolutely
non-commercial, so contains no advertising – only the stuff our readers
want to read. SHIFT can be enjoyed in various formats to suit various
needs, from hard copies delivered to your door to minimal ecological
footprint e-readers, to browsing online.
Where is SHIFT taking us?

Speaking honestly and compassionately about the converging crises of
ecological and economic collapse and peak resources, SHIFT aims to deliver
not just food for thought, but inspiration to practical action.

This no-holds-barred magazine minces no words in portraying our planetary
predicament for what it is, and engages some of the sharpest minds and open
hearts of the sustainability movement in communicating the stories we need
to hear. From growthbusting Dave Gardner, to arch-collapsik Guy McPherson,
to psychological resilience educator Carolyn Baker, SHIFT covers all areas
of a culture in decline.

SHIFT aims to inspire practical action among readers – action to preserve
our vital ecosystems, action to build community resilience, and action to
powerdown our way of life for a pathway to sustainability. On this journey,
we are in good company.

SHIFT is everything the name suggests – from paradigm shift, through
downshifting, to just shifting your bum off the couch – it’s all about the
shift.
How SHIFT Works

Our core production team consists of editing team Kari McGregor and Sean
Crawley, and web-development, graphic design and publishing duo Ben Matei
and David Zwolski. Thought-provoking content is sourced from both regular
contributors and guest writers.

Every issue of SHIFT will be released online with a selection of articles
available for free viewing. SHIFT can be enjoyed in various formats via
subscription or single issue purchase, and back-issues are easily
accessible for browsing or purchase. Please note that the magazine is sold
at cost of production and delivery only, with any marginal surplus being
used to pay for website hosting.

With no advertising revenue to subsidise our work the cost is fully borne
by the purchaser. This means that the *SHIFT *team can proudly say we
include only the content our readers wish to receive, and do not fill our
pages with wasteful commercial advertising.
