Choices for Sustainable Living, Starts July 27

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

I recently read the message about how " Meat is destabilizing the world " and

there just happens to be a discussion course that addresses that along with

the big picture of sustainability. You might like to attend or send this

message to your friends. If you have yet to participate in a Northwest

Earth Institute course I think you will like the experience.

Dear Friends,

 

" Choices for Sustainable Living, " a 10-week discussion course

focusing on the challenges of living in harmony with Earth's

ecological systems, will be offered this summer at the Foundation for

Global Community on Tuesday nights, 7;30 to 9 pm, starting on July

27.

 

Most of us are fully aware that the modern consumer lifestyle, with

its emphasis on living " the goods life " is not environmentally

sustainable nor healthy for humans or other creatures. Getting

together with others to disuss our choices can be the first step in

making the changes we know we need to make.

 

If you would like to explore these issues, meet like-minded others,

and share ideas/actions for living more lightly on the Earth, this

class is for you!

 

" Choices for Sustainable Living " uses a collection of articles and

short excerpts, along with discussion questions developed by the

Northwest Earth Institute (NWEI), which everyone reads in time for a

weekly discussion. If you'd like to learn more about NWEI, see their

website at www.nwei.org

 

Topics addressed include:

--Ecological Principles

--Sustainable Communities

--Sustainable Business and Economy

--Sustainable Food

--Sustainable Buying

 

The course will be led by Deborah Schweninger, a local public school

teacher, and the dates are Tuesdays, from July 27 through September

28. (If you need to miss one or two sessions due to vacations, you

can at least catch up with the readings.)

 

Fee: $30 (includes the course reader)

Registration: Contact Deborah Schweninger at

<dschweninger or call the Foundation for

Global Community at (650) 328-7756.

 

Hope you can join us for some good discussions during this popular

course.

 

Cheers, Debbie Mytels
