The theme for our Open Meeting on Weds 19th Oct is “Consumerism“.
We will be showing the film “The Story of Stuff” by Annie Leonard.
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled, humorous look at the underside of production and consumption. It explores the connections between a vast array of environmental and social issues, and points the way toward a more sustainable and just world.
Afterwards we’ll have a friendly discussion, thinking about how we can transform our culture of consumption and waste into a culture that prioritizes social and ecological well-being.
You’ll learn something, you’ll laugh, and you just may never look at stuff the same way again. [UPDATE: you can read how it went here]
As usual, there will also be updates on projects ongoing and planned.
Everybody welcome! Suggested voluntary donation of £2 to cover costs.
Time and place: Weds 19 Oct, 7.30pm at Fleetville Community Centre on Royal Road, off Hatfield Road, near Morrisons [map].
