JD Stillwater Talk with Dinner

Monday, June 30, 5 PM
at the UUCNC meetinghouse (222 Temple St, Fredonia)

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua presents a talk by Science Ambassador JD Stillwater, along with a sandwich and salad dinner. JD Stillwater moves and inspires thousands of people all over North America and the globe with science-centered messages of awe and deep kinship. JD will be speaking at Chautauqua Institution on Wednesday, July 2, and we are very fortunate that he agreed to speak in Fredonia while he’s in the area! https://www.jdstillwater.earth/

A description of the talk:
“Active Love and Anthropocene Angst”
Multimedia. 20 min talk
“That humans are having major impacts on the planet is now quite clear, and some of those impacts may be evident millions of years from now. Are we a cancer on the biosphere, a plague? Would it be better if we had remained blissfully in the stone age? Our angst about such matters may be no more helpful to building sustainable systems than is white guilt in forging racial justice. JD somehow relates all of this to romantic relationships, parenting teenagers, and Joni Mitchell.”

There is NO CHARGE for this event, but DONATIONS are gladly accepted.
