About this event

Do we really want to Save the planet or just seen to be trying to save it? ESG used to be called Corporate Social responsibility, before that Social responsibility aka Green washing Agenda -Why are we shortening the lifespan of products? Washing machine, fridges, phones, clothes, mattresses - nothing lasts anymore \- Separating garbage into different bins but exporting them to poor countries who dump them into the sea +Streaming music - burning data centre electricity and water. Why can't we just download it permanently? +Switching to paper straw but blowing up oil wells +1 million passengers up in the air at any given time +Trees being cut so that we can drink our coffee in a paper cup \- Shall we blame the Governments and businesses? Surely\, us the people have no contribution in the slaughter of our planet \- Profits above the Planet \- surely we need to squeeze the planet in order to keep the economy going? Format Online, Live Participation We are having real fun with these sessions and want to keep them focused.
