SUMMARY:Green Screen: #ClimateScam? / Climate Anxiety / Plan Z: From Labcoats to Handcuffs
DESCRIPTION:Green Screen presents ‘#ClimateScam?‘ with short films Climate Anxiety and Plan Z: From Lab Coats to Handcuffs. This screening is followed by a live panel curated by all three filmmakers. Come and join the conversation. \nAll the films address the impact the climate crisis is having on our young people with refreshing\, diverse and solutions-based perspectives as well as well as the stark situation faced by scientists who\, unheard by government\, are now taking to the streets. \n#ClimateScam? (40 minutes)\nAs the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters\, why do so many people believe that climate change is all a hoax? This is the question that Jaz Njie\, a young hairdresser and tech-savvy Gen Z-er\, sets out to discover in the new film\, #ClimateScam?. In this documentary\, produced by award-winning charity Cornwall Climate Care\, Jaz swaps her scissors for a microphone as she goes out to the homes of climate scientists\, climate sceptics and climate activists\, getting to know the real people behind the often angry headlines. \nClimate Anxiety (17 minutes)\nA Cambridge Moviemakers film directed by John Yates. As the climate crisis unfolds\, young people fear for their future. In this short film young people\, parents and professionals discuss their experiences of climate anxiety and how they deal with it.\nPlan Z: From Labcoats to handcuffs (24 minutes)\nAre scientists doing enough to sound the alarm about climate breakdown? Plan Z traces the motivations of British researchers who’ve turned to civil disobedience to warn the public directly\, risking arrest\, a criminal record and their professional reputations. When the UK government pledges to ‘max out’ oil and gas extraction\, the lives of psychology professor Colin\, microbiologist Abi and ecologist Aaron collide outside the Department for Business\, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)\, where they and six others are arrested for causing alleged criminal damage. But who are the real climate criminals? As restrictions on protest tighten\, will scientists retreat to their laboratories or will more stand up than ever before? A window into the world of reluctant activism\, Plan Z explores the moral power of protest when established routes of influence fail. \nGreen Screen:  #ClimateScam?\, Climate Anxiety and Plan Z: From Labcoats to Handcuffs\, The Little Theatre Cinema\, 16 March\, 4pm\, £10. \nClick here to book tickets – and see short video clip.

SUMMARY:What is Nature?
DESCRIPTION:What do we mean when we say that the environment is in danger\, that Nature is being lost? You might think that this is self-evident\, but actually\, the very concept of “the Environment” is a recent invention\, dating back only about 50 years. \nOur modern conception of Nature being “a good thing” is not one that people have always subscribed to. And indeed\, even today\, we tend to be selective about those aspects of “Nature” that we like and those that we don’t. \nIn this talk Professor Stuart Reynolds will discuss how humans have viewed Nature through the ages and evaluate the idea that we now live in an “Anthropocene Age” in which few if any aspects of Nature remain undisturbed by humans. If that is so\, then what does it mean to “conserve” Nature? \nStuart Reynolds is Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Bath. He is a member of the Department of Life Sciences and also of the Milner Centre for Evolution. \nTickets £3-£6

SUMMARY:Sustainability Shorts #6
DESCRIPTION:We will be holding our sixth evening of the Sustainability Shorts lecture series in the centre of Bath at the Percy Community Centre in New King Street. \nThe evening is designed to be engaging\, snappy and entertaining\, with six speakers talking for ten minutes each on their chosen sustainability subject. There will be five minutes for Q&A after each speaker\, then it’s on to the next! You are guaranteed to hear something new and something you can work with from our varied speakers. \nOur six speakers are as follows: \nSheila Gundry\, Head of Operations at Froglife and Charlcombe Road Toad Patroller\nWe are really fortunate to have a thriving toad population at Charlcombe Lane in Bath. Sheila Gundry\, Head of Operations at wildlife charity Froglife and local environmentalist\, will explore the vital role of toads and other amphibians for healthy ecosystems\, discuss the contribution of volunteers from Bath Toad Rescue\, and compare challenges and successes with the national picture. \nStephen Clarke\, Extinction Rebellion Bath\, explaining XR UK’s perspective on what makes a non-violent\, direct action organisation sustainable. \nRuth Lambert\, CEO of Share and Repair- a charity helping people across Bath and North East Somerset save money and the planet through repairing\, reusing and reducing. \nAnna Hughes\, Director\, Flight Free UK\nWhy should we be avoiding air travel? And how can we practically do that? Anna’s talk will look at the alternatives and give plenty of tips and ideas. \nPaula Malone\, Climate Fresk facilitator and children and young people’s educator \nA Climate Fresk workshop turns climate science into a game – the playful and collaborative workshop teaches participants the fundamental science behind climate change and empowers you to take action. The idea is to create a network of people who can pass on a high level of climate education to help guide us to a low carbon world. Paula will also talk about how we are doing our children and young people a huge disservice by not a) educating them about the world around them and how it’s changing\, and b) empowering them to recognise and realise the power and agency that they have to create positive change. \nSkye Pennant\, The Slow Stitch Club \nSkye will talk about the importance of mending. a hugely creative and intentionally slow and therapeutic skill. Part of the joy of visible mending is celebrating the stitches you make no matter how wonky they may be. By using contrasting colours of threads and patches on our clothes we can turn the damage into a scrapbook of our lives lived in them. Whether they’re from fast fashion brands or handmade by you\, our favourite clothes deserved to be worn and loved and repaired for as long as possible. \nWe will be serving tea and coffee during the break (there may even be biscuits)\, so plenty of fuel will be on offer to help you to keep up with the pace! \nTickets are free\, but we’d be grateful for a donation if you can manage it\, so we can continue to run events like this one.

SUMMARY:Avoiding Climate Change via Waste Management
DESCRIPTION:The UK has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. But not all greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels. Waste management\, which includes landfill\, waste-water\, incineration and composting\, is estimated to contribute ~19 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents every year\, with a significant portion of this derived from methane\, a much more polluting gas than CO2. \nTristan Rees-White\, of the University of Southampton\, heads a methane emission monitoring team working to reduce emissions across the sector. \nTickets £3-£6

SUMMARY:Faultlines in Sustainability 1: Sustainable land use with George Monbiot (via zoom) and Patrick Holden
DESCRIPTION:This is the first in a series of all-day sessions (in person or online) in which a panel of experts will discuss and answer questions on a “Faultline” within current sustainability policies. This session focuses on reconciling farming and nature. \nIs modern farming sustainable? Many believe the answer is no: its impacts on both climate and biodiversity are too high.  \nYet the remedies proposed fall into two opposing camps. One is to improve farming practices to become more wildlife-friendly and share the land with Nature; the other is to intensify production in some places\, in order to leave land exclusively for nature in others. The dilemma is integration versus differentiation. \nFaultlines 1 will discuss these options – everyone is invited to take part in the discussion. \nOrganised by Peter Harper\, Sam Cooper\, Stuart Reynolds (all University of Bath) and Will Reynolds (Centre for Alternative Technology). \nConfirmed speakers include: George Monbiot (via Zoom)\, journalist\, author\, and environmental and political activist; Patrick Holden CBE\, UK organic dairy farmer and campaigner for sustainable food and farming; Lynn Dicks\, Professor of Ecology at the University of Cambridge; Mark Lynas\, author and journalist; Hannah Needham\, strategic natural capital expert and habitat restoration specialist; Dustin Benton\, policy advisor at Forefront Advisors. \nBook for event.

SUMMARY:Securing our food supply: Building resilience in the UK
DESCRIPTION:Increased international volatility\, climate change and biodiversity loss all pose risks to the UK’s food security. Prof Tim Lang and Prof Sarah Bridle discuss what a good food system looks like\, as well as the policies needed to ensure that our food system is fairer\, more sustainable and more resilient. \nAbout the speakers \nTim Lang became Emeritus Professor of Food Policy at City University London’s Centre for Food Policy in 2021. He was Professor of Food Policy at City from 2002 to 2021 and had founded the Centre in 1994 at Thames Valley University (now University of West London). For years\, he’s engaged in academic and public research and debate about food policy\, locally to globally. His abiding interest is how policy addresses the mixed challenge of being food for the environment\, health\, social justice\, and citizens. His most recent report is Just in Case: 7 steps to narrow the UK civil food resilience gap. \nSarah Bridle is Professor of Food\, Climate and Society at the University of York. Their work focuses on analysing the environmental impact of what we eat and creating a more resilient food system which benefits human health as well as the planet. Sarah is the author of Food and Climate Change: Without the Hot Air. \nThis event is hosted by the University of Bath Institute for Policy Research (IPR). \nThis event will be held on Zoom. The meeting details will be included in your ticket confirmation email. You will automatically receive reminder emails in the lead up to the event that also include the event link. \nIf you have a question about access\, please contact us via Eventbrite or email at ipr@bath.ac.uk \nBook tickets.

SUMMARY:Is A River Alive?
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Robert Macfarlane’s perspective-shifting new book is a single idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use but living beings who should be recognised as such in both imagination and law.  Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past\, present and futures of this urgent concept: to northern Ecuador\, where a cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining\, to the wounded waterways of southern India\, and to north-eastern Quebec\, where a spectacular wild river is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign. \nRobert Macfarlane is internationally known for his writing on nature\, people\, and place. His bestselling books\, including Underland\, Landmarks\, The Old Ways\, and The Wild Places have been translated into over thirty languages. He has written for film\, music\, theatre\, and radio\, has collaborated with the artist Jackie Morris on The Lost Words and The Lost Spells and with the musicians Cosmo Sheldrake\, Julie Fowlis and Johnny Flynn with whom he has released two albums\, Lost In The Cedar Wood and The Moon Also Rises.

SUMMARY:The Elephant Game: Beyond Bricks and Mortar
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably heard the fable about the blind men and the elephant – each one touches a different part and ends up with a completely different idea of what it is. That story inspired the name of The Elephant Team\, a group of specialists at the University of Bath\, combining their skills to tackle a major problem in the push for sustainable building. \nHere’s the issue: new sustainable construction materials (SCMs) are being developed rapidly\, but they’re not being adopted nearly as fast. Why? Because while scientists focus on how these materials perform\, they often overlook a crucial question – do they meet people’s real needs? \nThe Elephant Team believe the key is co-production: involving communities directly in the development process. Our research aims to combine technical data about SCMs with insights from the people who’ll actually live with them. The result? A smarter way to choose materials that work for both people and the planet. \nSo – how do we make this happen? \nTo bring these ideas to life\, the team has created a prototype board game called Beyond Bricks and Mortar (BBM). It’s a fun\, hands-on way for people to explore what really matters in a home. Players compete and collaborate as they design their ideal homes – first by identifying what’s important to them\, then digging into the needs behind those choices\, and finally selecting the materials that best meet those needs. \nThe BBM game has been played with several groups so far\, and the feedback has been great – people find it both enjoyable and eye-opening. \nThis special Community Workshop\, taking place at the Museum of Bath at Work\, will give you the opportunity to play Beyond Bricks and Mortar with The Elephant Team! The workshop kicks off with a warm welcome and a quick introduction to the research – plus how your input during the game will help shape it. Don’t worry\, your participation is completely anonymous\, and you won’t be asked to share anything personal or sensitive. You’ll also receive a full Participant Information Sheet on the day. \nDr. Joel Lazarus will lead the first session\, introducing a fresh and fun way to think about human needs – key to getting the most out of the game. After a short break\, we’ll dive into BBM for about an hour\, then wrap up with a group reflection and closing. \nBBM is easy to play and great for all ages – it’s recommended for anyone aged 7 and up. Kids are more than welcome\, because the team would love to hear their ideas too! \nReserve your space on 31 May.

SUMMARY:Faultlines in Sustainability 2: Sustainable Eating
DESCRIPTION:BRLSI is currently running a series of one-day events on sustainability policy. These are focused on ‘Fault Lines’ between alternative approaches to net zero where it isn’t yet entirely clear what will be the best thing to do. Each meeting considers just one of these Fault Lines and brings a panel of experts to discuss the way forward. The second of these events is about sustainable eating. \nThe Faultline is about the desirability or otherwise of manufactured ‘meat-alternative’ foods. It is generally agreed that animal farming is a major source of the greenhouse gases that cause climate change\, and that it would be beneficial to reduce the number of animals\, especially cattle\, on British farms. But what would people eat? Not everyone wishes to be vegetarian or vegan\, and so we must expect that there will be a future shift from real meat to palatable and nutritious meat-alternatives made from plants or microbial proteins. Even insect proteins are being considered. On the other hand\, will such alternatives provide a proper balance of protein and other nutrients? This is especially important for children. Moreover\, these meat-alternatives will necessarily be manufactured in laboratories or factories\, and there is currently much concern over the adverse health consequences of ‘ultra-processed foods’ (UPFs). And in the end\, do we really want to eat food that is not ‘natural’? \nThe Faultlines #2 meeting will bring together a number of UK experts to discuss the pros and cons of meat-alternative sources of protein. \nThey include the well-known commentator in the media on food\, farming and food security\, Professor Tim Lang from City St George’s\, University of London\, who will introduce the issues and offer his own opinions on the way forward. Mark Lynas is an author\, speaker\, podcaster and campaigner. He also acts as science advisor with the 74-country Climate Vulnerable Forum\, and is Head of Policy with the pro-science environmental campaign network WePlanet. He will present the case that it is essential to avoidance of climate breakdown that that there is extensive take-up of meat alternatives. Another important figure at the meeting will be Dr Tamsin Blaxter from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food at Oxford University. She will focus specifically on the requirement to get dietary proteins right. \nBut what about the meat replacements themselves? What are they\, and are they safe? Professor Stuart Reynolds(University of Bath) will talk about plant-based meat-alternatives\, and will assess whether they really do permit fewer greenhouse gas emissions than real meat. Professor Marianne Ellis from the University of Bath will argue that the best solution to the meat substitutes problem will be to grow cultured animal cells in industrial scale laboratories. On the other hand\, Dr Daniel Amor from the University of Bristol will argue that mass-reared Insects can be an important protein source for human food and animal feed. But will people really eat them? Erik Millstone (Science Policy Research Unit\, University of Sussex): will talk about ultraprocessed foods and how they are (or aren’t) currently regulated. \nAll of this will be discussed by a panel of other experts\, who will also answer questions. Its members will includeProfessor Jennie MacDiarmid\, who is Director for the Interdisciplinary Centre for Health\, Nutrition and Wellbeing at the University of Aberdeen) and Dustin Benton\, now a consultant at Forefront Advisors. Dustin previously worked at Defra\, where he was Chief Analytical Advisor to Henry Dimbleby’s National Food Strategy\, and led on climate and renewables at the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE). \nThe event will include a provided lunch\, mostly conventional food\, though samples of meat and dairy replacement foods\, including insect protein\, will be available to try (participation not obligatory!). \nBook tickets now.

SUMMARY:Let's Talk About Fashion Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:According to the UN Environment Programme\, the fashion industry is the world’s second-biggest consumer of water and is responsible for about 10% of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. \nYet fashion and clothing are also key statements of individuality and mediators of human understanding\, connection\, and distinction. Is it possible to transform our thinking about fashion and design toallow fashionable clothing to become sustainable? This talk introduces the Centre for Sustainable Fashion’s ‘Framework for Design’; examining the context of fashion design from the viewpoints of both planetary and social justice\, it will explore four agendas of fashion as nature\, cultures\, society and economy. \nProfessor Dilys Williams FRSA\, Director of Centre for Sustainable Fashion\, London College of Fashion\, University of the Arts\, London. \n  \nTickets £3-£6

SUMMARY:The Dao of Complexity with Dr Jean Boulton
DESCRIPTION:The pandemic\, climate change\, rising populism\, geopolitical unrest – just a few of the issues causing turbulence in today’s world. We are living and working in times that are complex and fast changing. \nJean Boulton\, building on her new book\, The Dao of Complexity (2024: De Gruyter)\, will explore the remarkable resonance between the science of complexity and the cosmology of Daoism. She will argue that embracing a view of the world as processual\, contextual and emergent will support us in “making waves” – making a difference in a world of increasing connectivity\, polarisation and fragility. \nDr Jean Boulton is a fellow of the Institute of Physics\, and a visiting academic in the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Bath.  She is a renowned expert in complexity science and its application to the social world and she is keenly interested in how to apply these ideas both to transform and engender resilience. \nBook tickets now.

SUMMARY:Green Screen: Woman Grows Jeans + panel
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Transition Bath\, the Green Screen of ‘Woman Grows Jeans’ + live panel (guests TBC) with director Justine Aldersey-Williams. \nThe film is the story of a garment that made British fashion history. \nWhen an ambitious experiment between a textile activist and a celebrity clothier meets inevitable challenges\, one woman is propelled into an initiation that makes British fashion history. With a community of volunteers\, they envisioned homegrown jeans sold through a social enterprise – but their work exposed uncomfortable truths about the systems controlling industry. Despite its sophistication\, the U.K. can no longer produce clothing without importing materials or causing harm. \nIn a country buying 70 million pairs a year\, Woman Grows Jeans journeys into our resilient ancestry to reclaim the care and agency that’s key to regeneration. After 600 hours\, the UK’s only pair of homegrown jeans were handmade – not as a relic\, but as a provocative signpost toward the future our hearts know is possible. A celebration of the traditional skills that reconnect us to nature’s wisdom\, this documentary proves that the power to create change is still in our hands. \nGreen Screen is a community-led space to discuss environmentally-focused cinema\, with expert panels and friendly post-screening discussions. \nBook tickets at The Little Theatre
