This Tuesday we will be kicking off the climate café with Slow Food Vancouver’s leader Christina Beaudoins. Christina is the leader of Slow Food Vancouver is part of the Slow Food International Movement, an association of over 80,000 members in over 100 countries. She will be speaking for a short while to our group about the challenges and rewards of local eating and consumption as well as what exactly the slow food movement is all about. Following her short presentation we will have a facilitated discussion with participants about easy ways we can all work towards minimizing our environmental impact when eating.
We expect some other pivotal local people to be there, like Will Cole-Hamilton. Along with being busy parents, Will and his partner Shannon are the owners of the art house Cinephile Video Store and Mainly Organics - an organic and natural food store just 2 blocks south of The Grind where the event is happening. Will and Shannon also founded the Learning Climate Educational Society last year, contributing to the great momentum to educate and take action on climate change.
I am looking forward to my first Climate Café. Hope to see you there!
David
