The Earth Talks Back

After COP15 how does the earth feel about the choices we are making?

This is your chance to explain to the planet what’s going on – and how we are going to take action to help. This is a huge subject and we can’t cover everything in 40 minutes, but by focusing on our relationship with the planet we hope to come closer to some of the issues.

Join this Thinking Tank if you are ready to face the challenge of creative thinking and brainstorm ideas to change the way we think about sustainability. What will be the best idea we can come up with? 

Join us for this breakthrough approach to problem solving where we spend 40 minutes hammering out a serious issue—a Darwinian struggle of ideas, challenges and reasons not to bother. 

“it is now abundantly clear that we have at our fingertips all of the tools we need to solve the climate crisis. The only missing ingredient is collective will.”

On Thursday 21st we will brainstorm ways to talk about sustainable development to people who aren’t interested.

We need your opinion in this debate. What ideas do you have? This is your opportunity to be heard, to hear from others, and to become part of the solution—all from the comfort of your own laptop. 

Thursday Jan 21st

Another stimulating discussion with a mixed audience – one third “ecowarriors”, and half feeling they had an unhelpful or negative effect on climate change. But only a quarter of the group felt that Planet Earth should be feeling even a little bit better after COP15
