An after-work social café combining beer, conversation, and the jagged interface between technology, networks, and “saving the world”, kicked off by a five minute talk by sustainable technologist Richard Smedley. Running every Wednesday in Liverpool FACT's Gallery 1 at 6pm. Traditional agriculture is labour-intensive; modern agriculture is energy intensive (& unsustainable) - but permaculture is design & knowledge intensive, using natural systems that give abundance to provide for our material needs with local adaptation to micro-climate, people & landscape. “…Permaculturist’s propose asking questions the current culture leaves unasked: How much is enough? How hard should we work? What do we need? Want? How do we measure that? What are our individual responsibilities to the common good? How shall we have accountability to each other?” - Chris Carlsson in Nowtopia Please come along & contribute to the sustainability discussio. The last two #SmallSteps events are 20 May & 27 May, again in Liverpool FACT's Gallery 1 at 6pm. http://www.goodgnus.org/small-steps/
