SUMMARY:Book Club Thursday 25 August
DESCRIPTION:In May we had an interesting discussion about ‘Doughnut Economics’ by Kate Raworth.  We have decided to meet quarterly\, and so our next meeting will be at The Rose\, Stapleford\, at 8 pm on 25 August. \nThe book we have chosen this time is not so much theory\, more one person’s account of how we can build a livable future for all in response to the climate crisis.  It is: \nA Bigger Picture: My Fight to Bring a New African Voice to the Climate Crisis \nand is written by Vanessa Nakate\, a climate activist from Uganda.  Vanessa has noted that African countries bear a disproportionate share of the problems occasioned by the climate crisis\, while at the same time black voices are not being heard as much as those of white activists.\n \n‘A Bigger Picture is part rousing manifesto and part poignant memoir\, and it presents a new vision for the climate movement based on resilience\, sustainability\, and genuine equity.’ (A Good Read)\n \nThe book has been recommended by Katie Williams\, who will lead the discussion.  Do come and join us at the meeting – having read the book is preferable but not compulsory; you might just want to find out about the ideas and join in the discussion. \n

SUMMARY:Book Club 19 May
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the new 2G3S Book Club where we are going to be discussing books (and articles\, podcasts etc) with an environmental theme.  We are going to start with ‘Doughnut Economics’ by Kate Raworth and are meeting at The Rose\, Stapleford\, at 7.30 pm on Thursday 19 May. \nAll are welcome to come along and  join the discussion.  Ideally you will have read at least some of the book beforehand\, but if it is one of those books you have always meant to read but not got around to\, why not come along anyway and find out more about it?   You can just turn up on the day\, but it would help us to have an idea of numbers\, so if possible drop us a line (see below). \nYour ideas for future books will also be welcome.  We are currently considering\, among others\, ‘Climate Justice’ by Mary Robinson; ‘English Pastoral’ by James Rebanks; and ‘Wilding’ by Isabella Tree. \nThe group will probably meet quarterly. \nIf you are coming\, or would like to be involved but can’t make the meeting on 19th\, contact us at greengroupssss@gmail.com with the header line Book Club.

SUMMARY:Face to face conversation in a Stapleford garden
DESCRIPTION:  \nWE ARE CORDIALLY INVITED to join Stapleford resident Patricia Mirrlees for a drink and a chat at her home The Stone House\, 40 Mingle Lane\, from 6.30 – 8.00 pm on Wednesday 25 August.  This will be a social occasion at which we can get to know each other\, but we shall also be discussing green issues.  Patricia is particularly interested in how we can work to improve our local environment for wildlife and biodiversity\, be it (for example) by getting councils to reduce verge cutting and allowing grass to grow and planting wildflowers instead; making life easier for insects\, bees and butterflies by planting nectar rich flowers and seldom mowing lawns; and for animals like hedgehogs creating highways by making gaps in garden fences.  Other issues we might discuss are the water crisis or the recent IPCC report – but let’s see where the conversation leads us.  It will be such a luxury not to have a set agenda to work through at speed! \n  \nIf coming by car\, park near the Johnson Hall on Gog Magog Way – the entrance to The Stone House is opposite the church lych gate.  The Stone House has a large garden\, and we shall sit outside.  Patricia will serve soft drinks and tea/coffee. \n  \nWe hope lots of us will be there!  If you can come\, please contact us at the usual address – greengroupssss@gmail.com.  Please let us know by Monday 23 August so Patricia knows how many to expect.

SUMMARY:Conversation Evening: Are natural disasters OUR FAULT?
DESCRIPTION:Are natural disasters OUR FAULT? \nMost deaths caused by so-called ‘natural’ disasters have human responsibility behind them.  Floods kill more people every year than all other natural disasters. Yet it is clear that climate change\, primarily caused by burning fossil fuels\, greatly exacerbates the power of storms and floods\, generates long-term droughts\, and causes heat waves that lead to tens of thousands of early deaths.  As always\, it is the poor and disadvantaged who suffer most – particularly those in low-income countries who did not cause the problem in the first place. \nBob White\, Professor of Geophysics at the University of Cambridge\, will lead our discussion on this topical issue. \n8 pm Monday 20 January 2020  \nLarge room\, The Three Horseshoes\, Stapleford \nFree; all welcome!

SUMMARY:Plastic Fantastic - but should we give it up?
DESCRIPTION:Conversation Evening \n \nPlastic is a fantastic material. It is light\, easily shaped\, strong and inexpensive – and it doesn’t corrode. But there’s a downside. Mass production started in the mid twentieth century and the vast majority of plastic ever created still exists. It is estimated that up to 12.7 million tons of plastic enters the ocean every year. \nSo are you worried about your ‘plastic footprint’? If so\, come along to the second 2G3S Conversation Evening for an informal discussion led by Elisabeth Whitebread\, Programme Manager for Marine Plastics at Fauna & Flora International. Have your questions answered and find out how you can help.
