SUMMARY:The Big Plastic Count
DESCRIPTION:A campaign by Greenpeace. \n\nCount your plastic for one week – 16-22 May 2022. \nAcross the country\, households of all shapes and sizes\, schools\, community groups and businesses\, will gather new evidence. How much plastic are we really having to throw away\, and what happens to it? \nWe’ll show the government it’s time to commit: reduce single plastic use by 50% by 2025 by switching to reusable options that work for everyone – and ban sending our waste to other countries. \n\nMore information here \n

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

SUMMARY:Film 'The Sequel: What will follow our troubled civilisation?'
DESCRIPTION:  \n7.30 pm Sawston Free Church\, High Street\, Sawston CB22 3BG \nFree; donations welcome. \n\n\n\nTHE SEQUEL shines a light on the work and legacy of David Fleming\, a historian\, economist\, and ecologist with a deep understanding of how we got where we are\, and a compelling vision of how we can recover what we have lost as the market economy has worked its way into every aspect of our lives. \nBAFTA-winning director Peter Armstrong guides us to encounter extraordinary people and projects from four continents that are cultivating a resilience not reliant on the impossible promise of eternal economic growth:\nrenegade economist Kate Raworth\, conservative philosopher Roger Scruton\, Gaian ecologist Stephan Harding\, localization revolutionary Helena Norberg-Hodge\, inspirational practivist and Transition Network founder Rob Hopkins\, eco-pioneer Jonathon Porritt and philanthropist/composer Peter Buffett\, among many others. \nAs we discover\, all were inspired by a work of rare depth that is rekindling optimism in the creativity and intelligence of humans to nurse our communities and ecology back to health: Fleming’s posthumously published lifework\, ‘Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It.’ \nThe Sequel recognizes the fundamentally unsustainable nature of today’s society and dares to ask the big question: What will follow? \nDirector: Peter Armstrong\nNarrator: Helen Atkinson Wood\nStarring: Kate Raworth\, Roger Scruton\, Stephan Harding\, Shaun Chamberlin\, Rob Hopkins\, Helena Norberg-Hodge\, Jonathon Porritt\, Peter Buffett\nRelease: March 2020\nDuration: 60 minutes\nSubtitled: English\, Portuguese\, Spanish\nGlobal distributors: Bullfrog Films \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThere will be a discussion after the film.  Refreshments will be served; please consider bringing your own mug and wear a mask when not seated; thank you. \nEmail greengroupssss@gmail.com to reserve a place and receive any updates.

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:Why all is not well with the River Cam
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n(photo by Felix Stigter) \nThursday 8 July: 8 – 9.30 pm  \nZoom meeting (free) \nTalk by Stephen Tomkins \nof Cam Valley Forum \n  \n\n\n\n\nCambridgeshire has nationally important chalk streams. The chalk aquifer that feeds them also supplies 97% of our public water supplies and is under unsustainable pressure. Stephen will explain this ground water crisis and suggest that our own action and behaviour towards our water resources is the key issue.  He will answer questions and lead a discussion. \n\n\n\n\nStephen read Natural Sciences at Cambridge and taught Biology in schools in Uganda and Cambridgeshire before moving into teacher training.  With a long-standing interest in environmental education\, he developed the first International GCSE in sustainable development.  He now chairs the Cam Valley Forum\, working for optimal benefit for us\, as users\, and for the river’s own long term wellbeing. \nPlease email the 2G3S address with the heading ‘River Cam’ for a link to attend the meeting.  For further related information see a report from the recent Earth Optimism talk about Precious Water here. \n

SUMMARY:How to pay for better bus services?
DESCRIPTION:A talk by Zoom (free) \n\n \nEdward Leigh \nfrom Smarter Cambridge Transport \n  \nFew people would disagree that we need better rural bus services. Franchising (re-regulation)\, which would make it easier to provide an integrated\, consistent service\, is now an option in Cambridgeshire.  But to expand service provision significantly will require additional money.  So\, the key question is\, where do we get the money from? \n  \nSmarter Cambridge Transport is an apolitical\, voluntary organisation\, advancing integrated\, sustainable and equitable transport for the Cambridge region. \n  \nAll welcome! \n  \n*To be sent the Zoom link\, email greengroupssss@gmail.com \nwith the header line Bus Services. \n\n \n
