Table Talk Economic Globalization and the Degradation of the Environment Monday, June 3, 6pm with Jerry Mander President of the International Forum on Globalization, an alliance of 60 organizations in 20 countries doing public education and campaigns on global economic issues, Mander argues that economic globalization is the greatest single contributor to the massive ecological crises of our time, with the environment and the world’s poor bearing the brunt of trade policies that lead to resource depletion and social injustice. Program director for the Foundation for Deep Ecology, Mander is a senior fellow at Public Media Center, a non-profit advertising company which works only for environmental and social causes. His book, “The Case Against the Global Economy,” was awarded ‘best book in ecological politics’ in 1996. * * * * * * * Table Talk Reservations Table Talks at 6pm include a three course dinner, followed by speaker and discussion from 7:30-9pm. $30 per person, includes tax and gratuity.
