The Institute for Bioregional Studies Ltd. (IBS), invites you join us for dinner and discussion, see some friends and meet your neighbours and fellow Islanders at our Social Forums. Since 1995, IBS programs have engaged concerned citizens to discuss issues and exchange ideas in the hope that such activities will be a catalyst for community growth, social development, and action.

Each forum begins with a potluck dinner, followed by a presentation and informal discussion.

For more information, visit our www site at: www.ibspei.ca  or write to us at ibs_pei@yahoo.com

There is no fee. However, we ask that you bring something to share for potluck.

Temporary Recession or the End of Growth?
Date: Tuesday December 4, 2012
Location: IBS, 114 Upper Prince Street Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
The economy plays a key role in shaping human impacts on the environment. As economies continue to expand, they are surpassing the earth's ability to provide resources and absorb wastes. Colin Jeffrey will facilitate a discussion on the question, "Is there a need for a transition to a no-growth or steady-state economy"
Colin Jeffrey received Master's degree in Resource and Environmental Management from Dalhousie University. As a graduate student, he studied ecological economics, community-based resource management and environmental law.
