First Unitarian Society
Social Justice Lecture Series
FUS continues to attract numerous distinguished speakers and as we gain experience
the Internet, new ideas pop up. One is a way to make these lecture available
to those who couldn’t make the live event. Thus we launch a new Social
Justice
Lecture series. This series will feature
ocassional programs we deem to be of use or interest, and are making available
with permission on the FUS website to downloads and as a “Podcast.”

Author Bill McKibben
"Deep Economy:
The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future"
recorded March 27, 2007
at
the Unitarian Meeting House in Madison, Wisconsin
The first in this series is Bill McKibben, a prolific author of books that probe our human relationship with the natural world. His first book, The End of Nature, written in 1989 made a strong statement about the negative impact of the human species on the earth. On March 27, McKibben gave a talk on his new book, Deep Economy to an overflow crowd at FUS. In his new book, McKibben presents his vision of a new direction for the economy that benefits humans and the whole natural world. We invite you to enjoy this engaging lecture and share it with others.
