About the Series
As humanists, we’re interested in promoting human well-being and flourishing through evidence-based and scientific approaches. Members of our community have diverse perspectives and experiences that help us grow and think individually and collectively. Through the Lens offers us an opportunity to come together and discuss pertinent topics or current events through the lens of humanism.
Not a humanist, but interested in environmental justice? Join us!
You don’t need to be a humanist to join us for this conversation. Our conversation is richer when a variety of perspectives and experiences are presented.
If you’re unfamiliar with humanism, here’s a quick overview: Humanism emphasizes the use of critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning for understanding the world and solving problems. It places a strong emphasis on human well-being, ethical behavior, and compassion. It advocates for expanding participatory democracy and the growth of an open society, standing for human rights and social justice. If this aligns with your values, we’d be grateful to have you join us!
This Month’s Topic: Environmental Justice
The planet is facing unprecedented environmental challenges that threaten the survival of the human species. Climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss are just a few of the many pressing issues that require urgent attention. As we continue to push the boundaries of what our planet can sustain, we find ourselves on the brink of a tipping point. But what does this mean for our future? What can we do to address these challenges and ensure a livable planet for generations to come? Join us for an evening of exploration and discovery as we delve into our planet’s environmental challenges and discuss potential solutions for a sustainable future.
