RE: Low impact living
For onward circulation to your contacts in Christchurch, please: (issued 24
Jan 1999)
Have you been wondering how to make practical links between those global
environmental concerns and everyday life, locally in the city? How to
'walk the talk', without resorting to a grim asceticism?
Why shouldn't it be fun and sociable! You could meet others who share that
interest in reducing local environmental impact (and sometimes costs of
living) while enjoying a good quality of life, in Christchurch, starting
very soon!
>From Wednesday 17 February, 7.30 to 9pm, and for seven Wednesday evenings
until April 1999, the Low Impact Living group will be meeting at the WEA,
59 Gloucester Street, Christchurch.
>From minimum of 10 to a maximum of 24 in size, the group will start as an
evening class, with guest contributors chosen by the class, facilitated by
Rhys Taylor, who works at the WEA (ph 366 0285).
The class follows two previous successful WEA series in 1998: The Solar
Future and Why Waste, and has been arranged in response to requests for a
down-to-earth, self-help approach.
Topics are likely to include: home heating, transport, water saving,
permaculture, shopping and
many others. The focus is on practice, insight and experience, rather than
theory! Suggestions welcomed for inclusion. There will be a fee of $36 for
the whole series, which includes reference materials.
Phone the WEA to make contact, call in to book a place (9.30am to 3pm
preferred) or write to WEA,
