Please join us at the Sebastopol Grange on Highway 12 for this special event with Richard Heinberg.
With oil production peaking, climate changing, the economy faltering, and fresh water, soil, fish, and minerals depleting at alarming rates, we must aim to increase society’s resilience—its ability to absorb shocks while continuing to function.
That means re-localizing much economic activity. We must aim also to shore up basic support services, education, and cultural benefits, while de-emphasizing economic activity that entails non-essential consumption of resources.
If ever there was a time to get to work and build a resilient community…it is clearly now.
Join us for an evening with Richard Heinberg:
Tuesday, November 16th
7 – 9 pm (come early – limited seating)
Suggested donation $10-$20
Location:
Sebastopol Grange Hall
6000 Sebastopol Ave/Hwy 12
