About Northwest Earth Institute
As James Beard says, "Food is our common ground, a universal experience." The Northwest Earth Institute is a non-profit organization working to Inspire people to take responsibility for Earth through small group dialogue. NWEI’s newest guide for small group discussion, Menu for the Future, due to be released in April of 2008, is a six-session study guide exploring food systems and their impacts on culture, society and the Earth, offering practical suggestions on creating and supporting a more sustainable food system. The course explores the effects of modern industrial agriculture on both human and ecological health, highlighting sustainable forms of agriculture and how individuals can make choices that cast a vote for a more sustainable food supply. Please contact NWEI at [email protected] or visit us on the web at www.nwei.org for more information about this and other study guides. NWEI is a recognized national leader in the development of innovative programs that empower individuals and organizations to protect the Earth. NWEI offers seven other study guides for small groups that can be implemented in workplaces, homes, libraries, faith centers, neighborhoods and community centers throughout the nation. Course topics include Voluntary Simplicity, Choices for Sustainable Living, Global Warming: Changing CO2urse, Exploring Deep Ecology, Discovering a Sense of Place, Healthy Children-Healthy Planet and Globalization and Its Critics. Please visit www.nwei.org for a complete listing of discussion course programs and descriptions of each course.
