Hope for an Environmentally Challenged World SIG

This SIG will investigate and discuss a variety of current environmental issues along with solutions and ideas for actions that individuals can take. During the 2024 fall session, planned topics include food (waste, review of food distribution systems and the environmental impact of our food choices), rainforest deforestation and conservation measures working to address it, non-car transport (walking, biking and public transportation) and methane (cow burps, landfills and leaky pipes). We will plan for some flexibility in the schedule and topics so that we can address and cover areas that the group prioritizes for discussion. We will also explore ways to build hope through action and implementing solutions, so that future generations can live in a healthier world. Discussions will use a variety of sources, such as books, articles, videos and podcasts.
