Consumer's Anonymous - Futility. Next meeting Feb 26
Consumer's Anonymous is a group of locals who care about our environment and want to think carefully about the impacts our buying decisions can have. One example is kicking our plastic habit! What are alternatives to using plastic? How can we make good ethical choices? How can we reduce our consumption?
Join Transition Town Lower Hutt to discuss the problem of being individuals, or small locally organized groups, trying to bring about change in the face of the scale and momentum of massive political and economic enterprises. Is all our effort just futile perhaps, or at best just helpful to a few? Is the magnitude of the problems overwhelming? All Welcome.
