Climate Chaos Cafe

Information recived via Leeds Sustainability Network.

Here is the programme for the next four months of Climate Chaos Cafes! Pretty exciting stuff...

Climate Chaos Cafe is all about discussion, information, food, chat and action on climate change in friendly and informal surroundings. We open at 6.45pm, with about an hour of talk/open discussion from 7pm then a cheap, delicous (vegan) meal and plenty of time to discuss and chat over a cuppa or a beer.

Climate Chaos Cafe started in Leeds in 2007, it aspires to open doors for discussions on issues that affect all of us, so we can learn from each other. It's less about experts and more about sharing knowledge and information in an open and comfortable environment, focusing on what can be done locally, linking global issues to local campaigns and groups that aim to address them.
It's a collaborative effort so help is always welcome cooking, clearing and setting up - come along anytime after 5.30pm if you'd like to help out....
