What are cooperatives and can they help us get to a regenerative future?

In this segment of RUC's Struggle Series, we'll take a look at an individual's move away from the cycle of corporate work towards cooperative work.

Join in on the discussion!

We are struggling as a society to reduce our carbon emissions. And we often struggle as individuals to reduce our own carbon impact. Let’s start with what we can do in our homes - whether renting, owning, dorming, or living with friends or family.

Zoom in to listen, discuss, and come together regarding our individual struggles, the solutions, and the stepping stones to decarbonize our homes!

Join in the struggle as we attempt to unpack the topic of camping and the waste that seems to suddenly accumulate all in the name of adventure! We’re no experts, but maybe we can work through the struggle together so we’d like to hear from you too! Follow the link below to access our Struggle Series!

📚 Parable of the Sower (1993) is a sci-fi novel by Octavia Butler, who is often called the mother of Afrofuturism. We’ll explore themes of climate change, economic crisis, and resistance.

💻 We'll meet virtually three times, every last Sunday of the month

This is Part 3 of the meeting series.

Everyone eats food and some of us even grow it! Agroecology asks us to think ecologically, politically, culturally, and locally about agriculture and food. — Tackling all that is a struggle. Together, we'll discuss and imagine ways to engage with agroecology. Both as consumers and communities.

Zero waste is so much more than changing your lifestyle to recycle or compost. It’s building relationships to the material things we consume every day, and the impacts they have on the environment and people.

Most of what we consume is someone’s idea of making a profit, but what does it mean to build a culture of community care in zero waste? What are the roles of intersectional systems of oppression in environmental racism? How does zero waste go beyond white environmentalism?
