Newsletter July 2023

It’d be great to meet more of you so please try to join us at one of our events coming up this month:

On Sat 8th July do join us for a workshop on Doughnut Economics run by SoCAN (Southampton Climate Action Network) – please BOOK and join us at this hopefully fun and informative workshop in central Southampton: https://fb.me/e/1aEKFy3aZ Doughnut Economics is about building an economy where everyone can thrive without breaching ecological boundaries.  

Our politicians are stuck with “economic growth” as the only way to help us thrive. But the planet is telling us loudly that this doesn’t work. How can we look to the future with more options for people and the earth? Join us for a workshop on Doughnut Economics to explore what helps us thrive and how we can be kind to the planet too. No knowledge of economics needed!
