Introduction and overview:
Introduction by Molly Scott Cato, MEP. Though a Green, Molly will be speaking in her capacity as a Member of the European Parliament serving the entire community rather than as a party politician.
Speaker: Teresa Belton. Teresa is a visiting fellow in the School of Education and LifelongLearning at the University of East Anglia. She will talk about her recently published book.
Happier People Healthier Planet and invite discussion on the issues it raises.
Both Molly and Teresa believe that markets and economies should respond to social and environmental priorities.
Overview: We want More! Newer! Faster! Better! – but when we get it, we are often no happier.
Worse, we are damaging the natural world, possibly beyond repair.
In detail:

It will challenge, inspire and reassure listeners to search for better ways of living
