Sustainability Series: September Book Club
Join us for South Shore Permaculture’s Sustainable Book Club. This month we’re reading Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic that launched the environmental movement.
Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
Documenting the adverse environmental effects caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides, the book led to the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water.
Tuesday, September 15th 7pm - 8pm
Fogg Library, 1 Columbian St, Weymouth, MA
Seats are limited. Please RSVP using this form:
“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road — the one less traveled by — offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.”
Announcing South Shore Permaculture’s first ever Book Club! Part of our Sustainability Series, join us every other month to read and discuss a book that sparks conversations about what it means to be sustainable in today’s world.
The Weymouth Public Library will have copies of our monthly book on reserve.

South Shore Permaculture’s Sustainability Series
Our foundation of sustainability, education and community - combined with the 3 permaculture ethics: Earth Care, People Care, Fair Share - led us to create the Sustainability Series.
Each month, we offer either a potluck & movie night or book club meeting where we delve into film and literature that explores the foundations of sustainability, hope & resilience, community, food & culture, justice, and possibility. We hope you can join us at one of our gatherings.
Together we are building community through stories that reconnect us with ourselves, each other, and the living world.
