Ruffin' It – Shedding Light on Environmental Beliefs:
DEEP ECOLOGY
September 23
10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
$80.00
Doing things that are “eco” or environmentally friendly seems
like a good idea. However, it can be hard to know what really is the environmentally
friendly thing to do. Should I eat locally grown but non-organic strawberries,
or organic ones all the way from California? Etc… And with all
the challenges facing our planet it may even seem necessary to ask yourself “What’s
the point?” every now and again, or “What is Ecology anyway,
where does it come from and what for?”
Deep Ecology is an environmental philosophy and movement – and a
great tool for helping us all to live lightly on the Earth. Join us for
a half-day workshop that explores Deep Ecology, its connection to you,
and your connection to the non-human world. Come ready to learn, explore
and play outside and have some fun – rain or shine!
