  • 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 Tom Moorhouse's book, 'Elegy for a River'. I hope that members will suggest other books. (We usually divide books into sections assigned to individuals to reduce workload.) We have read a wide variety of books in this group including Mike Berners-Lee's, 'There is no Plan(et) B'; 'The Uninhabitable Earth' by David Wallace-Wells and Jessica 'Tree's Wilding'. This course is for anyone interested in and/or who would like to know and do more about environmental matters.
