Feb. 11 & 28: Rethinking Plastics lecture & retreat in SF

January 16, 2010

Rethinking Plastics Director Stuart Moody is presenting a series of lectures at

School for Self-Healing, 2218 – 48th Ave., San Francisco 94116.

In Part 1 of the Rethinking Plastics lecture series on Jan. 14, Stuart provided

a history of plastics (celluloid billard balls were invented to replace ones

made from ivory when elephants were becoming an endangered species in the

mid-1800s), showed us how today's petroleum-based plastics create litter, harm

marine wildlife and our own species (canned goods, except Eden beans, are lined

with hormone-disrupting bisphenol A). He also discussed solutions such as zero

waste (BYOB=Bring Your Own Bag), the precautionary principle and producer

responsibility.

Stuart returns to deliver Part 2, Zero Waste and Zero Stress--The Inner

Discipline of Green Living

DATE: Feb. 11, 2010 (Thurs.)

TIME: 7:15pm – 8:45pm

In today's consumer society, waste has become a way of life. This is more than

an unsightly problem; we are literally poisoning the planet, our collective

body, in the process of extracting, transmuting, and throwing away so many

valuable resources. A more elegant model of joyful and prosperous living is

available. As a 15-year-old said after seeing a movie on Zen and the art of

living, " Meditation makes you smarter, and everyone knows it's smart not to

waste. " Come learn five Zero Waste Principles – a set of attitudes and practices

which together chart the way to a fulfilling life and a sustainable world. These

practices will help not only you but can also be applied to your place of work,

school, or social organization.

PART 3 of 3: RETREAT: Feb 28 (Sun.), Sustainability from Within. Details at
