How to Save the World

After brief introductions from our speakers and a spot of brainstorming on how to save our world, you’ll have time to explore what sustainable living entails with those in the know.

Now that the vast majority of scientists and politicians agree that human activity is contributing to climate change, increasingly dire future scenarios are becoming part of our everyday existence. Are you suffering from ‘green fatigue’ under a constant bombardment of catastrophe warnings? Does the ‘inconvenient truth’ take you from denial to despair?

Find new ways to tackle this ‘energy crisis’. Join in a spot of speed-brainstorming and chat to those involved in changing attitudes to saving the world. Pick up and share ideas on how to alter your lifestyle for the better… because now’s time.

What will it take to save the world? Can we learn from Scandinavian ‘sustainable’ thinking? Ask author Johan Tell as he talks about 100 Ways to Save the World and what inspired his writing.

Natalie Suckall demystifies ‘sustainability’ for us. What does it mean? How should we live a sustainable lifestyle, and why?

Toby Ferenczi explains his research into novel technologies for solar energy. Might renewable energy sources save the day?

Picking up on one of the fundamentals for our daily survival, Zeenat Anjari explains how to value your food for what it is.

BedZed (Beddington Zero Energy Development) resident Paul Miller hosts the evening. Discover what it’s like to live in a carbon-neutral eco-community. Are developments like BedZed the way forward?

Finally we round off the evening with further discussion in our informal café bar that takes us from a personal to a global level of thinking. How on earth can we initiate change at a global level? Have your say.
