Paul Gasson will be speaking on Saturday 8 August at the News from Nowhere Club at the Epicentre in Leytonstone. For details of venue and evening please see: http://www.newsfromnowhereclub.org/
Description of talk:
Climate change, peak oil & water, economy shocks…increasingly buffeted by global crises too big to be solved by conventional thinking, we urgently need a different approach to building resilient local communities. Tonight we’ll dip into the challenges, explore the transition movement’s psychology of change, & journey around some local examples of change which offer inspiration. Paul, living in Walthamstow, has been involved in environmental campaigning for 20 years, much of it focused on improving conditions for cycling & walking. He’s actively supported many local pressure groups & chaired several, including the London Cycling Campaign. He believes there are powerful synergies from reducing our carbon footprint, increasing community engagement & exploring personal change.
And we are going to be having a day of scrumping on September. So if you fancy getting on your bike, picking some apples, and then pressing them into juice, let us know and we’ll get in touch when the date is confirmed. Hope to see you at either event or both!
