Thursday 1st June - Gary Mahoney Memorial Debate - From 7.30pm @ The Pearce Suite, The Adelphi Hotel
Merseyside Environmental Trust and Liverpool Friends of the Earth present the annual Gary Mahoney Memorial Debate at The Pearce Suite in The Adelphi Hotel. This is the third annual debate held in honour of Gary Mahoney, Air Quality Manager with Sefton Council and long-time Friends of the Earth representative, whose sudden death in November 2014 was a sad loss for environmentalists on Merseyside and beyond.
The title of this years debate is 'How Green Can We Go?' - Most thinking people are clear that we humans have to tackle climate change and pollution, cut out waste, protect wildlife and allow ourselves green spaces to breathe in, if present and future generations are to live healthily on this planet. So how can we become cleaner and greener locally? What should we expect from our about-to-be-elected national government, our recently-elected 'City Region' Mayor, of corporations and local businesses, of trade unions, faith and community groups, our neighbours...and ourselves?
Clara Paillard, Liverpool-based member of the PCS union’s national executive committee and active with Trade Unions for Energy Democracy, and David Connor, Managing of Coethica Ltd and regional promoter of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals will open a discussion on ways of making sure that green words can become green action.
All are welcome to join us in the Pearce Room – as well as before (see above Liverpool Green Drinks) and/or afterwards in the Wave Bar.
