SUMMARY:Discussion Evening-Perspectives on the Future of Personal Transport
DESCRIPTION:Perspectives on the Future of Personal Transport \nThis conversation evening is designed to be engaging and enjoyable. \nThere have been several trends in personal transport over the last few years and we will be concentrating on two of them. Both have an environmental impact. These two trends are coming together with the advent of electric cars. \nWe will start off with a short team quiz embracing the two trends so everyone has the same knowledge. The quiz will then broaden out into items for discussion. \nAt the end of the discussion\, we will examine some of the considerations for buying an electric vehicle\, and this will then lead to considerations of local infrastructure\, government policy and maybe\, if time permits\,  geopolitical impacts that will limit vehicle choices. \nIt is almost certain you will learn something about electrical vehicles\, their environmental impacts\, and possibly something about climate change including the two events in 1957 that really initiated the knowledge base we have built up today. \nSo you should come away better informed\, better able to weigh up pros and cons and have had an enjoyable experience. Does that sound worthwhile?  See you there!

SUMMARY:2G3S Book Club - Ravenous
DESCRIPTION:The 2G3S Book Club meets every 3 months to discuss a book that has some relationship to green living and the natural world. \nAt this session we will be discussing “Ravenous” by Henry Dimbleby \n \nThe author has founded a reaturant and been an adviser to government\, helping to formulate the National Food Strategy (which unfortunately has largely been left unadopted by the present government).   The book is a very readable summary of a situation that is hard to digest: the fact that we are all damaged directly or indirectly by a food system that is responsible for an epidemic of obesity\, contributes to the destruction of the natural world\, and is a major contributor factor in the climate emergency.    The book identifies what the auther believes government can and must do to address this crisis\, but there is plenty of food for thought here for everyone. \nYou can read a review of the book here: \nhttps://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/mar/15/ravenous-by-henry-dimbleby-review-rage-against-the-food-machine

SUMMARY:No Mow May
DESCRIPTION:A campaign by Plantlife \nBasically\, we don’t mow our lawns (or even a patch of lawn) throughout May\, and then do a flower count of the unmown area at the end of the month. They have been doing this for some years now – simple to do\, but it provides valuable information and gives small plants a chance to flower and provide a source of nectar for bees and other insects. \nMore information here
