[Sust-mar] IBS Forum Sept 7

[IBS]

Join author Mike Nickerson and activist Donna Dillman for a discussion on
sustainability.

One by one, people are realizing that human activity cannot
grow forever on a finite planet. When enough people understand this, the
conventional wisdom will shift. It will move from:
" Our purpose is to expand production and consumption,"
to,
" Our purpose is to enjoy living while managing the planet for generations 
to come."

Mike, a long-time sustainability educator and author of Life, Money &
Illusion: Living on Earth as if we want to stay," along with his wife,
Donna, the uranium activist who went 68 days without food last fall to
protest exploration near their home in eastern Ontario, are visiting over
two dozen communities in the Maritimes in September.  They have stops
