 Veterans Memorial Parkway, June 14

 

Earlier this spring, we planted 1,000 trees and shrubs at Gainsborough Park with the help of volunteers like you!

Join us to plant trees along Veteran's Memorial Parkway on Saturday, June 14. The event, sponsored by the four General Motors dealers in London, begins at 10am with a tour of "Green by Design" cars.

Tree planting begins at 10:30am until 1pm. Bring a shovel if you can.

Location: Northwest corner of Page Street and Veteran's Memorial Parkway. Parking along Page Street or at Jones Packaging.

Deep Economy: Bill McKibben

The Thames Talbot Land Trust presents Bill McKibben this Friday, June 12 at 7pm at the Bessie Labatt Hall at King's College.

In 2007 McKibben published Deep Economy: the Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future. Bill McKibben urges us to see beyond "growth" and "more" as our primary economic ideals and to pursue prosperity in a more local direction, with cities, suburbs and regions producing more of their own food, generating more of their own energy and even creating more of their own culture and entertainment. We need to think about "deep economy" that takes human satisfaction and societal durability more seriously.
