Pope Francis's important ecology lesson
Could the Pope’s climate change encyclical change the world?
Last Thursday, Francis planted what Greenpeace founder Robert Hunter might have called a “mind bomb.” Promulgating the first papal encyclical on the environment, Francis sent shock waves across the speaking notes of climate change deniers worldwide and Republican presidential hopefuls in the U.S.

Find an Environmental Champion: GreenPAC
Do you think it’s time for the federal government to champion the environment?

It’s time to level the playing field for political candidates who have demonstrated environmental leadership. That’s what GreenPAC is about. If you care about the environment, take this quick survey to find an environmental champion who will represent your values then pledge your support to their campaign.

Die In Against Line 9
Mon. June 29, 8 a.m.
Finch Subway station
An early start for the day, but good practice for the #RiseUpTO action. Last week the National Energy Board (NEB) gave Enbridge the green light to start pumping tar sands oil through the Line 9 pipeline. The news came just days after Federal Court judges heard the court case launched by Chippewas of the Thames First Nation challenging the National Energy Board’s approval of Line 9 despite a lack of consultation with the community on the project. That legal decision is expected in weeks. Come out to Finch Station, where Line 9 crosses, to oppose Line 9 and to support the ongoing legal challenge by the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation.

Reclaiming our economy as our own: Possibilities for Transformation
Monday, June 29, 6:30 (sharp) - 9 pm
OCAD University, 100 McCaul Street (Dundas/ University area), Lambert Lounge (to your left as you enter)
In this session we will be exploring "Theory U", the systems approach to social and personal transformation developed by the Presencing Institute www.presencing.org which is based on nearly 20 years of action research in a wide range of government, health care, NGO and business contexts. It’s potential for transformation has been tested with extremely positive results in Indonesia (turning around political corruption), Germany (improving healthcare), China (with state owned businesses) and many others. This is an exciting application of Eastern contemplative practice combined with systems theory that is entirely in harmony with the indigenous worldview of interconnectedness, reciprocity with the land, other species and other human communities, which is also systems based.

The Strangest Dream
Free screening and discussion
Tues. July 14, 6:15 - 8:15 pm
Annette Branch Library,145 Annette St.
The anniversary of the first detonation of an atomic bomb is July 16th. The film The Strangest Dream "is the story of Joseph Rotblat, the only nuclear scientist to leave the Manhattan Project, the U.S. government’s secret program to build the first atomic bomb. His was a decision based on moral grounds. The film retraces the history of nuclear weapons, from the first nuclear test in New Mexico (July 16, 1945), to Hiroshima, where we see survivors of the first atomic attack. Branded a traitor and spy, Rotblat went from designing atomic bombs to researching the medical uses of radiation. Together with Bertrand Russell he helped create the modern peace movement, and eventually won the Nobel Peace Prize.
He was integral to the founding of Pugwash. Featuring interviews with contemporaries of Rotblat and passionate public figures including Senator Roméo Dallaire, The Strangest Dream demonstrates the renewed threat of nuclear weapons and encourages hope through the example of morally engaged scientists and citizens.” On January 22 ’15, “the symbolic doomsday clock moved to three minutes before midnight ... because of the gathering dangers of climate change and nuclear proliferation, signalling the gravest threat to humanity since the throes of the cold war.” It’s time to talk.

Bikes vs Cars
July 31 – August 6, daily
Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, 506 Bloor W. (at Bathurst)
With over a billion cars worldwide, climate change and never-ending gridlock are a grim reality, but can we change our cities?

Travelling from São Paulo, Los Angeles and Toronto, where cyclists fight daily for their right to the road, to Copenhagen, where forty percent of the population commutes by bike, Gertten meets activists and thinkers who are working for revolutionary changes. Beautifully crafted, Bikes vs Cars is an intimate and powerful look at how to move away from car-centric models and toward livable cities. Director Fredrik Gertten will participate in Q&As on Friday, July 31, at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 1, at 12:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
