• one of leading UK speakers on climate change
• the author of ‘Carbon De-tox: your step to step guide to getting real about climate change’  voted one of the top five environment books of 2008 by The Guardian
• founder of the Climate Outreach Information Centre, a national charity that specialises in communicating climate change

All welcome

Almost everyone – climate activists included- experiences moments of despair about climate change. Piling on information about the size and threat of the problem can create cynicism and hopelessness. George Marshall asks if we sometimes unwittingly contribute to public apathy and whether there are ways to think and talk about climate change that can give us renewed energy and make the future seem exciting and positive.

Venue:

The Michaelhouse Centre,
Trinity Street

Tickets: £5, available through the office.
