Sustainable Thinking - an evening’s entertainment!

We offer an eclectic mix of cutting edge thinking from some dynamic speakers. Topically the issues around environmental law as we leave Europe will be examined. Schizophrenia; its symptoms, past, present and future treatments and how we are going to deal with vehicle recycling all in one entertaining night. With hands-on demonstrations and a quiz, you could even win some Pint of Science goodies! University of Nottingham
Re-imagining environmental law – jettisoning the past
Duncan French (Professor of International Law) @Prof_Dfrench
Environmental law has grown tremendously in scope and depth in the past 50 years. Few other areas of regulation have grown so fast and so far, in such a short time. Underpinned by a range of principles – precaution, prevention, sustainable development – the law now seeks to address many of the fundamental challenges of our modern age. And yet, is it enough? As environmental conditions worsen, and we enter into the new age of the Anthropocene, will the very rules and structures that have so far not prevented the environment deteriorating give us the tools as we see further and deeper changes?
Schizophrenia
Clive Adams (Co-ordinating Editor)
So, what is it really like to hear voices? Schizophrenia is an illness - or set of illnesses - in which many functions of the mind are disrupted. This talk will describe the symptoms and course of the illness - causes remain unclear and way above my pay-grade - mostly I will talk about treatment - past, present and into the future
Electric Vehicle drive train recycling
Gavin Harper (Energy Development Manager)
Will we need to recycle electric cars? Can they be recycled? And who’s going to do it? As we move toward a transport system aligned to electric vehicles the challenges of how to deal with the eventual recycling seem a long way off but the decisions we make now will have a significant impact on future generations.
