Description

What does it mean for humanity to be sustainable? Join us on Thursday, September 11 at noon for this month's TED Talk Lunch Series as we watch and discuss the 2023 talk, "Are we the last generation - or the first sustainable one?" Data scientist Hannah Ritchie digs into the numbers behind centuries of human progress to unpack the meaning of sustainability and show how we have the potential to be the first generation of humans to actually achieve it.

What they are:  TED Talks are short, carefully prepared, idea-focused talks that foster learning, inspiration, and wonder.

Why we like 'em:  no matter the topic covered, these talks provoke conversation and inspire listeners to continue thinking and learning far after the presenter has finished

How to join:  bring your lunch to the library and join in as we watch a highly rated TED Talk and continue the conversation amongst ourselves

What else should I know?  Coffee and dessert are provided
