ZEST Night: The Success of Non-Violent Civil Resistance/ The Earth is Full vs We have Solutions

March 6, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

ZEST Nights are a new event on first Monday evenings. We know that environmental sustainability, and thus economic and cultural sustainability, face extreme risks. ZEST nights present and debate existing and emerging solutions to environmental justice and related social justice problems. Join us for short presentations and engaging discussions focused on new solutions to climate problems, ranging from political to economic to technological or scientific.

In our March meeting we’ll hear research on how nonviolent resistance is surprisingly successful. (There is also an Oregon-based group advocating non-violent resistance.) Then Paul Gilding gives a sobering overview of global ecosystems and Peter Diamandis counters with examples of societal and technological advances; we will discuss and debate from there.
