BRATTLEBORO — Post Oil Solutions Climate Change Café screens “The Wisdom to Survive: Climate Change, Capitalism, and Community,” on Tuesday, May 27, at 6 p.m. at Brooks Memorial Library's meeting room.
Asking whether humankind has the wisdom to survive its climate change crisis, the film features author, educator, and journalist Bill McKibben; author, scholar, and systems theorist Joanna Macy; environmental lawyer and advocate James Gustave “Gus” Speth, and biologist and environmentalist Roger Payne.
The film focuses on how we can live creatively - even joyfully - in the face of what scientists suggest is a mounting catastrophe.
Following this hour-long film, a working session will see participants discuss adaptation and mitigation, both needed in the face of climate change, and what each of us can do to help from our homes, neighborhoods, and communities.
Admission is free. Light refreshments will be available.
Climate Change Café meets the fourth Tuesday of each month to provide a venue for those concerned about climate change and who want to be actively involved with efforts to both adapt to and mitigate this unprecedented crisis.
