Film: 'The Economics of Happiness' Monday 27th February, 7:30pm at Malvern Youth Centre, Albert Road North, WR14 2YF

This film reveals how globalisation is accelerating climate change, destroying jobs, fraying the fabric of communities and adding to the stress of modern life. Most importantly it shows that these trends can be reversed and that a better world is within our reach.

From Transition Newent, Friday 9th March, 7.15 for 7.30pm, Newent Community School Hall:

A great opportunity to explore what this could mean for ourselves in an evening with Molly Scott Cato, Professor of Strategy and Sustainability at Roehampton University and the Green Party’s economics spokesperson. Molly is a green economist and expert in social economies with themes of local resources, trade, work, and money. These come together for her under the heading of bioregionalism, which has at its heart two of the central principles of green economics: balance and cycles.

Molly describes bioregions as natural social units which are determined by ecology rather than conventional economics, that can be largely self-reliant in terms of basic resources such as water, food, products and services.  She says that “ecology demands that we recognize our part in a complex web of natural systems and this should reflect the places we choose to live and how and where we choose to access our resources.  This is what we mean by living in balance with nature.”

The evening will be an exploration of what wealth and richness mean for us, by comparing the conventional approach to finance and economics with the potential we have from the resources in our own local bioregions.
