Description

Through this event, we challenge the idea that reduced consumption leads to a reduced quality of life. Although we need to reduce our overall consumption, this may bring benefits such as greater cooperation and stronger communities, reduced outgoings and working hours, and increased overall wellbeing. Join us to explore this fascinating and timely subject, in an open and judgement-free environment, through a mixture of talks and interactive exercises with academics from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield working with the South Yorkshire Sustainability Centre.

Speakers: Professor Aimee Ambrose, Dr Matthew Wood and Dr Jayne Carrick
