Pickering Meeting in Yorkshire recently hosted the fourth lecture since the Meeting and four other local churches were gifted a sum of money following the closure ten years ago of the town’s Good News Bookshop.
Pickering Friends decided to use their share to host a series of public lectures speaking to Quaker values of sustainability, equality and peace.
On 19 October ecologist Jonathon Porritt spoke on ‘A Roadmap to a Sustainable World in the Twenty-first Century.’
He told an audience of around 300 people that reducing carbon emissions to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is possible – if the collective will is there.
