Upcoming Events:
Our next meeting is on Friday January 27, South Parade Baptist Church, Headingley, refeshments 7-30, start 8-00pm. It is on Sustainability in Crisis and takes the form of two films of speakers at the conference on this subject at Cambridge in September. There will also be plenty of time for discussion.
1. Film – Cambridge University, September 2011. Sustainable Consumption, Bill McKibben.
Bill McKibben is an American Methodist, environmentalist and writer about global warming and alternative energy and advocates far more localized economies. In 2010 the Boston Globe called him “probably the nation’s leading environmentalist” and Time magazine described him as “the world’s best green journalist’.
2. Film – Cambridge University, September 2011. Sustainable Consumption, Ruth Valerio.
Ruth is a writer and speaker with a passion for the world that we live in and all its inhabitants, and a desire to motivate others also to live in ways that respect and look after this earth. She is currently doing doctoral studies in Theology at Kings College London, looking at simplicity as a Christian response to consumerism.
