  • Description:

    We will discuss books and other materials eg newspaper articles, both fact and fiction on various aspects of sustainability, and consider taking appropriate actions such as writing to MPs, lowering thermostats, car sharing or planting trees or a wild flower meadow. Our first book will be George Monbiot's, 'This Can't Be Happening" (out in August 2021) Members usually suggest other books. (We often divide books into sections assigned to individuals to reduce workload.) Last year we read, Jessica Tree's 'Wilding', Tim Jackson's 'Prosperity Without Growth' and Kate Haworth's 'Doughnut Economics' amongst others. This course is for anyone interested in and/or who would like to know and do more about environmental matters.
