SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:LATEST NEWS: The date and time of this meeting has been revised.  Please note that we will be meeting on Tuesday May 30th at the Three Horseshoes in Stapleford\, and not on 25th at the Rose as originally advertised. \n  \nIn May we will be discussing ‘Forget Me Not’ by Sophie Pavelle. \nLike many of her generation\, Sophie Pavelle is determined to demand action on climate change. In her hilarious and thought-provoking first book\, she describes the trips she took to see ten rare native species: species that could disappear by 2050 and be forgotten by the end of the century if their habitats continue to decline. \n‘This enchanting book could not be more timely: it brings much to inspire our future thinking\, and is a joy to read.’ Joanna Lumley\, actor\n‘Vibrant and vital. The trials of ten treasured species that we can’t afford to fail. A biological romp with a real mission.’ Chris Packham\, broadcaster \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). \nVenue:  Three Horseshoes\, Stapleford.

SUMMARY:2G3S Book Club
DESCRIPTION:In February we will be discussing ‘Regenesis’ by George Monbiot\, who attended the Cambridge Literary Festival recently to discuss the issues raised in this book. \nAs usual with George Monbiot\, this is a well-argued and challenging book.  The depth and breadth of his research is impressive\, and yet the book is very readable with the serious stuff being leavened with anecdote and humour.  His conclusions\, and their implications\, are both shocking and inspiring.  Do come and find out more\, whether or not you have already read the book – you’ll certainly want to afterwards! \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). \nVenue:  The Rose\, Stapleford.

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

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
