Population and Sustainability evening – film, presentation, stalls, cash bar and live entertainment

18th July 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Free

An evening exploring population and sustainability – by non-profit group Population Matters High Wycombe. Featuring ‘Wycombe for Fairtrade’ stall and the singer/songwriter and climate campaigner Cheryl Hillier.

In the documentary film Sense and Sustainability we ask the question, β€œIs a species set on endless growth sustainable?” In answering this question we explore the scale of the human endeavor and its impact on the environment. The answer becomes clear as we discuss population growth and overconsumption, and consider the resource scarcity we are facing today. We then explain the importance of the education and empowerment of women and rights to contraceptives and international family planning, and how this relates to a sustainable society.

7pm – Live entertainment, licensed bar, stalls
