Debate: Will humans destroy life on Earth? Can our planet still be saved? after the screening of “Anthropocene: The Human Epoch” by Jennifer Baichwal, Nicholas de Pencier and Edward Burtynsky
In Polish only
Partner: WWF Poland
We’re going to discuss the anthropocene – an epoch where significant human impact shapes the Earth, causing irreversible environmental changes. Do we have enough time to save life on Earth as we know it? If yes, then how? We’ll try to answer these questions and more, debating on the impact of our daily choices and activities, as well as the necessity of pushing the governments and legislators to carry out their duties as defined by Article 74 of the Polish Constitution with regard to protecting the environment.
