Leaving the OIL AGE behind- Dublin EXCHANGE

film night and open discussion

Film evening and open discussion in EXCHANGE dublin, Friday 26th 8-10pm. Free, all welcome. The event follows an urban cycle event, CRITICAL MASS, around the streets of Dublin, starting 6pm at Grafton St entrance to Stevens Green.

For the last 200 years we have seen a tremendous amount of change on planet earth, some things good, some things bad. Despite over 30 years of environementalists claiming the “model of progress” had led to a very dangerous situation for both the planet and us, its inhabitants, their calls fell on deaf ears. Thankfully, in the last few years, the industrialised world has realised there is a problem. The recent UNFCC climate talks in Copenhagen were an attempt to ensure a global deal to ensure things did not get out of hand, resulting in runaway climate chaos, with result of massive shifts in temperature, food shortages, water shortages etc, millions of deaths, billions of climate refugees, political instability… That deal did not happen!

But, in all parts of the world peole are waking up, becoming aware of the situation we are ing, its consequences and making changes in their lifestyle as well as participating with global social movements demanding and working for global change: SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE, was what 100,000 people marched for on the cold streets of Copenhagen. We are the ones in whos lifetime great change can happen, in fact, has to happen. Soon it will be too late.
