Climate Change: Heading for Extinction (and What to Do About It)

October 6, 2019 @ 2:15 pm - 4:30 pm

Free

~ Transition Bay St Margarets hosts Extinction Rebellion NS

for them to present their exciting, informative, and timely program! ~

This is telling the truth, the genuine truth we all need to understand!

This public talk has been given hundreds of times around the world and is the main tool in increasing the numbers that have stood up to rebel against a course set for extinction.

We will share the latest climate science on where our planet is heading, discuss some of the current psychology around climate change denial, and offer solutions through the study of social movements.

Our speaker is Lisa Strickland-Clark, a leader in Extinction Rebellion NS and a psychologist with kids and families in Bridgewater.  She has given this talk numerous times.  She has actively applied compassion and meditation to her life for 30 years.

Note – we are not trying to “save the planet”…we are at the point where we need to save ourselves and ecological systems.
The Earth itself will go on…the issue is whether we as humans and all other species will be here too.

ALL WELCOME!  –  FREE!  –  No Registration Needed – just come!

This event takes place on UNCEDED, and UNSURRENDERED Territory of the Mi’kmaw People. We are all Treaty People and have responsibilities to each other and this land. (More info on the Peace and Friendship Treaties: http://mikmaqrights.com/negotiations/treaties )

This is an emergency.
We need to build a mass movement that is prepared to accept what is happening and act accordingly. We need rapid change. We need to rebel. – Extinction Rebellion

=====================================
Transition Bay is offering this spot to Extinction Rebellion because we want to hear their perspective on the truth about climate change and associated effects. Hosting their talk is not taking a position on their actions. Rather it is providing a forum for public discourse. Transition Bay is a non-political group by design so we can focus on other essential needs towards transformation. We are part of a global network of over 2,000 groups in over 50 countries worldwide that contributes towards building resilience on a community level. We help local communities act on what really works to prepare for: Climate Change/Ecological Disaster, Economic Fragility, and Going Beyond Fossil Fuels, AND we have fun in the process by helping each other! See www.transitionbay.ca for much more!
