Transition Town Jericho
Monday, December 8th, at 6 PM
Transition Town Jericho hosts UVM professor Josh Farley in a talk “Rethinking Economics: Evolution, Community and Transition Towns”.
With worsening social and ecological conditions, it is becoming evident that mainstream economics has failed people, society, and planet alike. We need a new economic model. Dr. Joshua Farley, renowned ecological economist will outline how modern evolutionary theory supports an economics driven by cooperation and altruism, not competition and selfishness. Transition Towns, and traditional worldviews, like Ubuntu and Territories of Life, show us another path is possible. Dr. Farley will illustrate these principles in action through an urban agroecology project transforming turf grass lawns into edible native ecosystems.
Light refreshments provided. Please RSVP for Dec 8 by sending an email to: TTJericho.VT@gmail.com
