Climate Change Book Group: Braiding Sweetgrass

Wednesday, May 22 @ 7:00 pm

Free

The Medford Public Library’s Climate Change Book Group, “Planet and Pages,” meets to discuss “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings — asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass — offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. Stop by the library to snag your copy.

Led by green entrepreneur Clare Flaherty, owner of Trove Green Provisions in Medford Hillside, the group reads both non-fiction and fiction books about climate change and explores topics such as global warming, plastic pollution, environmental inequity, and proposed solutions to combat their effects. Trove Green Provisions, is a people and planet friendly product and refilling store offering provisions and services to help you live a lower waste and greener life.
