Sustainability Salon:
Not the same old “Gloom and Doom”
The NGD Committee is hosting a multi-media teaching event. The public is invited to attend this free Salon, which will feature a mixture of video clips, moderated discussion, and a free-ranging Question & Answer session covering many current topics.
Video content will include portions from ‘The Story Of Stuff’ (featuring Annie Leonard), ‘What a Way to Go’, and the latest documentary-in-progress about the Center Las Gaviotas in Columbia.
Discussion content will center around themes raised in these videos, and include:
-Consumerism and Local activities
-Peak Oil-Petroleum and Food / Overpopulation issues
-Systems Thinking and the Design Revolution for business and home life
In other words, this event will focus on solutions that are available today, and local ways SF Bay Area residents can take steps to improve the situation at hand.
Panelists slated to appear include members of Bay Area Localize, Back To Earth Organic Catering, Post Carbon Oakland, Friends of Gaviotas, the Design For Better Living Collective, the Sustainable Business Alliance, the Bucky Fuller Institute, SWT Energy.
Sponsored by the NGD Committee and the Parkway Theatre, this event promises to open doors and spark new connections between area residents who are sick and tired of feeling like nothing can be done. In fact, there’s lots going on right now, and the Sustainability Salon will be the place to learn more.
The Parkway serves food and beverages of many kinds. For a full preview of their menu, go here: www.picturepubpizza.com For more about the NGD committee, visit google-groups and search under ‘Design-For-Better-Living’.
