In May we will continue our conversation about the possibility of reconnecting with our local resources as a way to minimize our global impact on the planet and of finding a greater sense of happiness and community with our discussion of Bill McKibben's Deep Economy: The Weath of Communities and the Durable Future. In Deep Economy, McKibben argues that "growth" is neither the only nor the most sound economic ideal. He offers examples of alternatives, including local food, energy, and even culture and entertainment production, that would preserve the humanity of our economy. Do his suggestions seem reasonable? Possible? Join us to share your opinion Tuesday, May 5 at 7:00 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Main Library, Thursday, May 21 at 11:00 a.m. at the West Ashley Branch, or here on the blog.
