DESCRIPTION:Come\, share your ideas and learn more about environmental top
 ics in this space for thoughtful exchange\, around fiction and non-fiction
  books.  .\nhttps://mcpl.libnet.info/event/12261471
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Starting from a common base to have real d
 iscussions about the environment\, this book discussion club is a great wa
 y to deepen ideas\, have respectful debates while listening to the points 
 of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this importa
 nt topic. Together\, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine n
 ew sustainable and desirable horizons.</p>\n<p>This month we will discuss 
 <em>A life on our planet: my witness statement and a vision for the future
 </em>\, by David Attenborough. As a young man\, I felt I was out there in 
 the wild\, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusi
 on. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us\, barely noti
 ceable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places\, its biodiv
 ersity.&nbsp\;I have been witness to this decline.&nbsp\;A Life on Our Pla
 net&nbsp\;is my witness statement\, and my vision for the future. It is th
 e story of how we came to make this\, our greatest mistake - and how\, if 
 we act now\, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create t
 he perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited
 . All we need is the will to do so.</p>\n<p>A limited number of copies wil
 l be available at the Check Out Desk.</p>\n<p><strong>Questions about this
