Plant-Based Singapore: Individual Action or Structural Change by Post Growth Singapore

This event aims to unpack the assumptions and limitations of individual action as the core strategy for systems change, and hopefully point environmentally concerned individuals towards more rewarding and effective practices to make a meaningful difference in the world๐ŸŒŽ

In this Post-Growth Circle, they will be studying the vegan movement. Is the central strategy of changing individual consumption working? Consider how shifting focus to the structures that shape meat consumption and production can provide alternative pathways for creating a plant-based future๐Ÿ

This event is for anyone who is interested in a more plant-based future, whether for ethical, environmental, or public health reasons๐ŸŒฑ

You do not need to be a vegan to join.
