Within this month's LINE forum, we will touch on ecologism, which centres on the necessity of "radical changes in our relationship" with the world. We will contrast this with environmentalism, described as a "managerial approach to environmental problems". To facilitate our understanding, together we will look at selected pieces of text from Andrew Dobson's book, 'Green Political Thought'. We will then consider what we have read in the light of relevant Islamic themes.
We will also hear feedback on recent activities, have a slot for 'Resource Cycle' <www.lineonweb.org.uk/Action/projects.htm> and will prepare for the upcoming 2nd main 'Fast for the Planet' event on Sun March 22nd.
No charge and open to all - simply turn up for the start time. Donations welcome.
