We all know about accelerating climate change, the melting Antarctic and other dire global news. As though that is not enough, some environmentalists say we are screwed–it’s game over. Is that true? What are we supposed to do with that kind of information? Should we have hope? Should we be in despair?

What, in fact, should we do? Colin Beavan, aka No Impact Man, talks about embracing uncertainty and mystery–what some people call Sacred Agnosticism–to help us find our own personal paths to helping ourselves and others.

Facilitated by Advanced Certified Jivamukti Teachers Tamar Samir & Ximena Savitch.  All No Impact Week events are free. You can join any of the events, but we highly recommend you join the whole week, and especially the GIVE BACK DAY on Thursday, July 24, 10am-2pm. We are joining with the Human Impacts Institute to plant native species in East River Park in Williamsburg.

“Environmentalism is not about trying to use less but about trying to be more.
It is not about sucking our tummies in, but pushing our hearts out.
Environmentalism is not about the environment.
It is about people. It is about a vision for a better life – for people”
— Colin Beavan, No Impact Man
