Venue: 4nd Floor, Muslim World League, 46 Goodge Street, London, W1T 4LU (entrance on the corner of Charlotte Street); Nearest Tube: Goodge Street (Northern Line)
Guest Speaker: Yakoub Purches
As awareness of global warming and its devastating impact grows it is vital that we find ways to implement solutions. This months talk provides a unique opportunity to hear about renewable wind energy in the context of Islamic history. With this background we will then hear about how we ourselves can be part of the solution for a more sustainable world.
About the speaker:
Yakoub Purches is a revert to Islam who works with Lenticular imaging and animated holographic images. Over recent years his interest in environmental issues and halal energy has led him to find ways of bringing solar panels and small scale wind turbines into greater use, especially within the Muslim community.
The meeting will also provide an opportunity to hear about and discuss upcoming environmental events and activities, including an organic picnic in Regents park.
