Yet, history shows that increasing efficiency ultimately leads to an increase in use of resources and further environmental damage. Without reducing the demand, the current efficiency trends will make the situation worse.

Cool Drinks is a monthly social and learning gathering to connect and inspire individuals interested in climate change in our community. Once a month, we invite a ‘provocateur’ to share knowledge and perspective on a climate change-related topic. Supported small group dialogue and informal networking allow participants to push the ideas further, and get the information and support they need to act.

"Jevon's Paradox" is the movie Conrad shared with us at the Cool Drinks - Worth watching!! You can find it at: http://www.workersoftheworldrelax.org:
