Film: The Economics of Happiness. Thursday 1st December 7.30pm Community Club
Based on the ideas of - Helena Norberg-Hodge, Steven Gorelick, John Page, a film produced by the International Society for Ecology and Culture.
Come and join us for a viewing of this film and refreshments. All welcome.
'At the International Society for Ecology and Culture, we have spent the last three decades raising awareness of the underlying causes of the many crises we face today. From climate change to terrorism, financial insecurity to the epidemic of depression - we have argued that most of our most pressing problems can be traced back to an unsustainable global economic system. More importantly, we have pointed to a strategic way to address these problems simultaneously: economic localization.
The Economics of Happiness offers not only a big-picture analysis of globalization, but a powerful message of hope for the future. The thinkers and activists we interviewed for the film come from every continent, and represent the interests of the great majority of people on the planet today. Their message is unambiguous: in order to respect and revitalize diversity, both cultural and biological, we need to localize economic activity. They argue that a systemic shift - away from globalizing economic activity and towards the local - is an almost magic formula that allows us to reduce our ecological footprint while increasing human well-being.'
