Please see below for details: --------------------------------------------------- SEX AND SUSTAINABILITY Friday, October 30th 2:30 - 4:00 p.m. Cornell University, McGraw Hall 165 Admission: FREE FREE PIZZA! Speakers: LAURIE MAZUR, editor of A Pivotal Moment: Population, Justice and the Environmental Challenge (Island Press, October 2009) CASSIE GARDENER, Sierra Club Global Population and Environment Program What's sex got to do with sustainability? A lot. We are now at a pivotal moment for people and the planet. The environment that sustains us is in crisis. At the same time, the largest generation of young people in history is coming of age. The choices young people make about sexuality and childbearing will shape their futures-and the future of the planet. Population growth, climate change, gender discrimination, inequality-these problems are connected. But so are the solutions: Where young people have the means and the power to make real choices about childbearing, our futures are brighter. And so are the prospects for a world that is sustainable and just. LEARN - DISCUSS - TAKE ACTION We can make it happen.
