SUMMARY:Global food philosophy with Dr Julian Baggini
DESCRIPTION:The global food system is incredibly complex and in crisis. In his new book\, How the World Eats\, Julian Baggini argues that we can use philosophical tools to identify the key principles that should govern a food system fit for the 21st century and beyond\, drawing on the empirical base of how humans have fed themselves across the globe and history. \nThis involves considerations of agriculture\, ecology\, animal welfare\, human rights\, nutrition and political economy. Philosophically\, these require considerations of the limits of reductionism\, the conception of justice\, ethics and epistemology. Although the book is wide-ranging\, Julian will also argue against the idea that we always have to trade-off depth and breadth\, making the case that what we call “breadth” is just another kind of depth. \nDr Julian Baggini is the author\, co-author or editor of over 20 books including The Sunday Times bestsellers The Pig that Wants to be Eatenand How The World Thinks\, and\, most recently\, How to Think Like a Philosopher (all Granta). He was the founding editor of The Philosophers’ Magazine and has written for numerous newspapers and magazines\, as well as for the think tanks The Institute of Public Policy Research\, Demos and Counterpoint. \nTickets: £3-£6.

SUMMARY:What Happens After You Flush?
DESCRIPTION:Bath is home to a vast underground network of drains and sewers\, responsible for carrying away both foul water and rain – often through the same pipes. But how did this system come to be\, how does it function today\, and what changes are needed for the future? \nMatt Wheeldon\, a senior figure at Wessex Water\, will take you through the fascinating history and workings of Bath’s sewerage system. From the challenges of combined sewers to the innovative solutions being developed\, this talk will shed light on an essential yet often overlooked part of the city’s infrastructure. \nThis event is perfect for anyone interested in the hidden systems that keep Bath running smoothly\, the environmental challenges we face and the future of wastewater management. \nBook your ticket

SUMMARY:How we sold our future: The failure to fight climate change
DESCRIPTION:For decades we have known about the dangers of global warming. Nevertheless\, greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase. How can we explain our failure to take the necessary measures to stop climate change? Why are societies\, despite the mounting threat to ourselves and our children\, so reluctant to take action? \nJens Beckert\, Director at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies and author of How We Sold Our Future: The Failure to Fight Climate Change\, joins the Institute for Policy Research to discuss the answers to these questions. \nDrawing on social science research\, he argues that climate change is an inevitable product of the structures of capitalist modernity which have been developing for the past 500 years. Our institutional and cultural arrangements are operating at the cost of destroying the natural environment and attempts to address global warming are almost inevitably bound to fail. Temperatures will continue to rise\, and social and political conflicts will intensify. The tragic truth is we are selling our future for the next quarterly figures\, the upcoming election results\, and today’s pleasure. \nOnline and free to attend. \nBook a place here.

SUMMARY:Hedge laying – your chance to learn a traditional skill
DESCRIPTION:Transition Bath offers another day of hedge-laying at Smallcombe Nuttery. We are very grateful to Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) and the National Trust for their support with this work. \nHedge laying is a traditional country skill intended to create a strong\, dense living hedge. By laying a hedge you not only create a living fence\, you also help to encourage new growth\, making it an excellent way of regenerating an old\, overgrown hedge without replacing it. It’s a skill that is best learnt from a craftsperson\, and we offer that chance. You will be working in a group of volunteers led by CPRE’s hedge-layer\, gaining real work practice on one of the Nuttery’s overgrown hedges. \nSpaces are limited and must be attended if we are to maximise our time with our hedge expert so please be certain that you can make the appointment before booking. Please include a contact number so that we can keep you up-to-date on what is required for the day. \nWe will be outside for most of the day\, so please dress accordingly and bring a stout packed lunch and plenty of water. Sustaining cakes will be provided! \nGet your tickets
