  • Description:

    We will discuss books and other materials e.g. newspaper articles, U3AC recorded lectures, both fact and fiction on various aspects of sustainability, and work together to take appropriate actions such as reducing meat consumption, writing to MPs, lowering thermostats, car sharing or planting trees or a wild flower meadow. Our first book will be, 'The Serviceberry' by Robin Wall Kimmerer. We hope that members will suggest other books. We usually divide big books into sections assigned to reduce workload. We have read a wide variety of books in this group including George Monbiot's, 'This Can't Be Happening', 'Wilding' by Isabella Tree and Jake Fiennes 'Land Healer'. This course is for anyone interested in and/or who would like to know and do more about environmental matters.
