SHED Book Group: Project Drawdown

Meet with other readers and SHED customers and staff for the SHED Food Lover’s Book Group, where we’ll tackle the history, philosophy, and politics of food with works by some of our favorite authors. We’ll share our passion for eating, cooking, and reading in a discussion group. This month we’ll discuss Project Drawdown, edited by Paul Hawken.

Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. The book is a collection of the work of a qualified and diverse group of researchers from around the world to identify, research, and model the 100 most substantive, existing solutions to address climate change. It shows that humanity has the means at hand. Nothing new needs to be invented. The solutions are in place and in action. As editor Paul Hawken writes, “Our work is to accelerate the knowledge and growth of what is possible. We chose the name Drawdown because if we do not name the goal, we are unlikely to achieve it.”

Come having read the book and bring your questions. Bring up a drink or a snack from SHED’s fermentation bar and join us in a discussion perfect for farmers, cooks, environmentalists- anyone who is interested in the future of food.

This discussion will be moderated by Pete Gang. Pete is an architect who has researched, preached, and practiced green/environmental building for two decades. He co-founded the Green Building Professional Certificate Program at Sonoma State as well as the Redwood Empire Chapter of U.S. Green Building Council. In 2017, he was trained by Al Gore as part of the Climate Reality Project and worked closely with the Center for Climate Protection to launch their Climate Action Fellowship.
