SUMMARY:Good News Evening
DESCRIPTION:It is very easy to get depressed about the state of the world. For 2G3S the threats to our natural environment have a particular resonance. But there IS a lot of good news; we just rarely hear about it. So we are holding a ‘Good News Evening’. Over some refreshments we’ll share information about positive developments for our communities\, for our climate and for biodiversity both locally and further afield. \nAll are welcome to join us; contributions to the good news and/or sweet and savoury nibbles are optional. Come along and and be inspired – you might leave with a spring in your step.

SUMMARY:2G3S Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The 2G3S Book Club meets every 3 months to discuss a book that has some relationship to green living and the natural world. \nThis time we will be discussing Land Smart by Tom Heap. \n“Rising demand for food\, energy and carbon capture all place increased pressure on land\, in the process reducing that available for nature. It’s a huge issue\, yet how to use land in smart ways is one of the least discussed questions of our times.”\n– Tony Juniper CBE\, environmentalist \nIn this book\, Tom Heap puts the case that if we use land cleverly it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet\, but if not\, we’re in trouble. \nIf you want to join us at Book Club please send an email to 2G3S with “Book Club” in the title (so we can let you know of any changes and future events).

SUMMARY:We Need to talk about Climate and Nature Action
DESCRIPTION:Great Shelford Library 2pm 26th February\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent organised by Cambridgeshire Libraries \nFree event\, but donations appreciated. \nThe theme of this workshop is “How to get started with individual climate action AND look after your wellbeing whilst doing so”. Led by an experienced facilitator\, Elisabeth Goodman-Spain. \nHuman-made climate change\, and associated impacts on nature and on our way of life are very real and very present. Yet\, this is still a subject that many people find difficult to face or talk about with those around them. It can be equally difficult to choose where to begin to take action\, let alone feel confident that such action will have sufficient impact. The net result can be isolating and overwhelming. This interactive seminar is an opportunity to air and hear your fears voiced with and by others\, through small group discussion and reflection in pairs and individually. It will enable you to explore how to begin positive action in a way that gives you meaning\, connects you with others and also nurtures your wellbeing. \nPlease book ahead in the library\, or contact: \nCambourne.referral@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

SUMMARY:Public Meeting on the CSET Busway (Better Ways for Busways)
DESCRIPTION:Better Ways for Busways (BW4B) are holding a public meeting at 19:30 on Tuesday 18th February at Great Shelford Memorial Hall\, Woollards Lane\, Great Shelford. CB22 5LZ. Everyone is welcome! \nIn January\, following approval by the County Council\, the GCP submitted their proposal to the Government to build their bus-only road (busway) through the green belt close to Stapleford\, the Shelfords and Sawston. The GCP busway proposal will now go to public enquiry where it will be examined in detail. \nThe scheme has been opposed by Stapleford Parish Council and a number of local organisations including the Magog Trust and Cambridge Past Present and Future. They are in favour of an alternative route for the busway that would be cheaper\, potentially more useful for village residents\, and have far less impact on our green spaces. There is more information on this alternative proposal on the Better Ways for BusWays website. \nAt the public meeting\, the CEO of Cambridge Past Present and Future (CPPF) will present the case for BW4B’s alternative busway route. \n2G3S encourages you to attend the meeting\, and voice your personal objection to the CGP scheme.  Objections must be submitted by 7th March. Please send in your objections to: www.bw4b.org/how-to-object \nDonations towards the costs of presenting the case are also welcomed. You can donate using the link on the CPPF website\, here.

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 Thursday 24 November: Silent Spring
DESCRIPTION:Our next book/books are ‘Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson / ‘Silent Spring Revisited’ by Conor Mark Jameson.  ‘Silent Spring’ needs no introduction; it was a seminal work when it was published in 1962 and was a major factor in the banning of DDT some years later.  The second book was published in 2012\, and focuses on what happened to particularly birds in the 50 years after Silent Spring was published. \nWe have been meeting in The Rose\, Stapleford\, but this pub is currently closed\, so we are meeting at The Three Horseshoes\, Church Street\, Stapleford.  We have booked their private room for 8 pm. \nDo come along having read both\, either\, or neither!  If you know you are coming\, please email us at greengroupssss@gmail.com so that we can contact you if necessary.  If you have decided at the last minute\, check the website first for any last minute amendments.

SUMMARY:Wednesday 2 November Strategic Planning meeting
DESCRIPTION:A message from our convenor\, Claire Lord \n  \nWatching the news this Summer I’ve seen reports of record breaking temperatures\, widespread drought\, horrific ‘mega’ wildfires and floods of truly tragic proportions. I’ve felt grief\, worry\, frustration and helplessness. \n  \nA large source of solace for me in these times is knowing that I am not alone in these feelings\, and there are things that I can do to help.  I joined 2G3S because I benefit from meeting other people who share my concerns\, and who can give me ideas of what I can do in my own home to live more sustainably.  I also enjoy joining with others to try and have a positive influence on a wider scale.  The benefit of synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. \n  \n2G3S is a friendly and informal group where visitors and new members are always welcome.  Sometimes people just come along because they are interested in a particular topic\, or would like to join in on a more regular basis. \n  \nIn November we are having a ‘Strategic Planning Meeting’ where we will discuss themes such as what issues we feel we should be working on as a group\, and how we are achieving our mission statement. From there we will brainstorm some ideas of what we would like to do next year. It is an open meeting and all are welcome\, even if you have never met us before! \n  \nSo\, if you fancy getting involved in a Repair Cafe\, discussing ideas on how to reduce single use plastic\, rewilding a garden\, planning a campaign or just listening in to the discussion – come along and join us and input your thoughts and ideas. \n  \nWe’re meeting on Wednesday 2nd November\, at 8pm in Cox’s Close Community Room\, Stapleford. Please email 2G3S (greengroupssss@gmail.com) to let us know if you are planning to come along or even if you would just like to send us some ideas! \n  \nClaire Lord
