The Sustainable West Seattle Monthly Forum for September features a panel discussion about Sustainable Alternatives to Growth Economics.
We will be meeting Monday, September 19, at the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center‘s theater auditorium, on Delridge Way SW (see map below if not familiar). The forum starts at 7:00 pm and runs through 9:00 pm. Come early and bring a snack or fruit and socialize with other SWS members.
The last decade has shown that a growing economy isn’t always a healthy economy. Join SWS for an evening of exploring some great alternatives to an economy focused solely on growth.
We’ll look into how communities can move toward greater economic health through microlending, cooperatives, slow money, and alternative currencies.
Our panel includes:
- Joshua Nelson, Washington Director for the Center for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy
- Derek Hoshiko, Seattle Good Business Network
- Derek Bernie, Executive Director of Washington CASH, and
- Francis Ayley, President of Life Currency Cooperative Exchange
