HARRISON — Resilient Harrison Maine and Harrison Village Library will present a monthly discussion series based on the book What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. Structured as a series of interviews and short essays, the information contained in the book will readily prompt further discussion, exploration, and broaden your sense of possibilities.
From the publisher:
“This provocative and joyous book maps an inspiring landscape of possible climate futures. Through clear-eyed essays and vibrant conversations, infused with data, poetry, and art, Ayana Elizabeth Johnson guides us through solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science, policy, culture, and justice.
“Visionary farmers and financiers, architects and advocates help us conjure a flourishing future, one worth the effort it will take – from all of us, with whatever we have to offer – to create. If you haven’t yet been able to picture a transformed and replenished world – or see yourself, your loved ones, and your community in it – this book is for you.”
Beginning October 8, our group will meet on the second Wednesday of every month from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Harrison Village Library, and participants will discuss one section of the book each month. Books will be provided to participants registered by August 28; to register, or for additional information, please contact the library at 207-583-2970.
