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:Pure Clean Water - film screening - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:LATEST NEWS:    31 January: Tickets for this screening have sold out. \nThis means there will be NO ADMISSION unless you have already purchased a ticket. \n  \nPure Clean Water is a fascinating documentary film which examines the critical issues surrounding chalk streams\, water availability and the growth of Greater Cambridge.   This is an issue that is very much “on our doorstep”\, with new build housing in Sawston creating an even greater demand for water\, the supply of which is already impacting the health of the river Granta less than a mile away. \nPumping from underground chalk aquifers brings us potable water at great\nconvenience\, but in the process springs are drying up and precious chalk streams are disappearing.\nWater companies\, regulators\, businesses\, land owners\, consumers and government have overseen a developing groundwater emergency. Can these groups come together to ensure that Cambridge has a reliable water supply without further damaging the environment? \nResolving this issue is not easy and will require each of us to pay much more attention to water. \nThe film will be screened at the Marven Centre at Sawston Village College on Thursday 1st February\, as part of the Sawston Cinema programme. \nTickets are on sale now through Ticketsource. \nThe film’s director\, Tony Eva\, will be present to answer your questions after the screening.
