" OUR EARTH" Book Discussion Club

IN PERSON at Connie Morella Library

Come, share your ideas and learn more about environmental topics in this space for thoughtful exchange, around fiction and non-fiction books.

Starting from a common base to have real discussions about the environment, this book discussion club is a great way to deepen ideas, have respectful debates while listening to the points of view of others and broaden our understanding and vision on this important topic. Together, we may discover new forms of commitment and imagine new sustainable and desirable horizons.

The book to be discussed today is:

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer trained as a scientist, yet retaining her indigenous wisdom and love for the ways of nature, she shares her insights of what we moderns need to incorporate in our understanding of our role on the Earth. Her appreciation of the beauty and generosity of the Earth is clear, and so is our need to respond with caring and restraint in our choices.
