SUMMARY:Online showing of Dàn fianais (Protest Poem)
DESCRIPTION:Zoom link from anne@skyeclimateaction.org \nThis film portrait of Skye and Lochalsh and some of its inhabitants was commissioned by Skye Climate Action and Atlas Arts and made by Andrew Black between August 2020 and September 2021– despite Covid! Over sixty people with connections to Skye and Lochalsh shared from the past and imagined the future. \nThe film was made throughout the last year of the COVID pandemic\, during an unfolding climate crisis\, and at a point where the effects of capitalism and imperialism are being reckoned with globally. The film reflects on ways of being here that might feel lost though still within the reach of living memory – as well as those that endure – to suggest multiple possible ways forward. \nThe film is an hour long and will be followed by discussion when we hope to have Andrew join us. There is much here to stimulate thought and action as we consider how to meet the challenges of climate change in 2022\, so do join us.

SUMMARY:Skye Climate Action: Climate and health - the co-benefits of action
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a crisis\, but so too\, are current demands on the creaking National Health Service.  Addressing climate change benefits health (and health systems) and vice versa\, in areas such as diet\, physical activity and air pollution\, and many other aspects. \nThis session will start with a presentation to illustrate some of the links\, to be followed by Q+A\, discussion\, and your suggestions for climate-healthy lifestyles. \nZoom link from anne@skyeclimateaction.org

SUMMARY:Skye Climate Action: Repair as an antidote to consumerism
DESCRIPTION:A meeting to move forward plans for a local Repair Cafe\, initially in the Broadford area\, but in the hope that it will spread around Skye and Raasay.  To stimulate thinking and discussion\, we will be joined by Miriam Adcock or colleague from Zero Waste Scotland\, speaking on their recently-launched campaign for responsible consumption. \nOver recent months\, Skye’s repair enthusiasts have had many conversations and a couple of physical meetings. Ideas emerging are that the Repair Cafe would be informal and social\, solutions would be worked out together\, with teaching and learning of skills. Some items would be retained by the original owner\, but some would be made available free or at low cost to the community. The recent ‘Waste Not at Hobbitin’ event showed that exchanging unwanted items can work alongside repair or refurbishment. These ways of re-using items fits into the circular economy and reduces consumption of new resources (and carbon cost). \nJust about any items can be considered by the Repair Cafe: clothes\, soft furnishings\, toys\, bikes\, shoes\, tools\, computers\, electrical appliances\, furniture\, household / garden / croft stuff … Bring it along or ask about it and get advice. It might be that there is no-one in the group who can fix it\, but we will also keep a list of professional ‘fixers’ and be able to refer on. We don’t wish to take business away from commercial repairers\, but to foster a culture of repair and re-use. If the challenge and satisfaction of mending or doing things up becomes the norm\, the need to have ‘new stuff’ becomes less dominant. That way\, there should be plenty for community groups and those in the business of restoration. \nThe aims of the meeting are: to firm up some of the ideas – and take on new ones\, identify people who are\, or might be interested in contributing from time to time; decide on at least one physical meeting in the next month or so; keep the momentum going. Come along if you want to know more or to chip in to the discussion. \nContact Anne for the zoom link.

SUMMARY:Zero Waste Scotland: we need to talk about consumption
DESCRIPTION:We need to rethink how we consume in Scotland and around the world. Around four-fifths of Scotland’s footprint comes from the products and materials we manufacture\, use\, and throw away. In fact\, the average Scot consumes 18.4 tonnes of materials every year – that’s the equivalent of 50kg per week on average. \nThe recent appointment of the first Circular Economy Minister in Scotland provides the opportunity to accelerate circularity and change Scotland for the better. \nThe discussion sessions include \n\nBridging the overconsumption and carbon gap\nCircular cities and regions\nBreaking the consumption habit\nRethinking the food system to reduce food waste\nGlobal supply chains and business models\nTurning waste into valuable resources\n\nRegister here. \n
