Fireside Chat: Wildfires, Climate Change, and is it Too Late to do Something?

Join us for our very first first event on **Tuesday, August 25 at 5:00 PM** by the fire pit in Trillium Park! This one is sponsored by Apathy is Boring and their Table Topics initiative, so if anything you should come for the **FREE FOOD!** Three weeks ago, Toronto ranked first place in worst air quality in the world as we woke up to orange skies caused by wildfire smoke drifting in from northern Ontario. It was a sobering reminder that the climate crisis isn't going away, and sooner or later we are going to have to confront it. Come sit by the fire, roast some marshmallows, and have some thought-provoking discussions about what we can do better as a society. **The Agenda** **5:00-5:05 - Icebreaker:** After everybody introduces themselves, the facilitator explains the agenda, introduces this week’s topic and asks the following icebreaker question. * What were you doing on the day when Toronto had the worst air quality in the world? **5:05-5:20 - Lecture:** Facilitator recaps the climate policies proposed and delivered by the government on a federal, provincial and municipal level so that everybody is up to speed. **5:20-6:00 -** **Addressing the elephant in the room:** Let’s talk about the hard questions! The facilitator will ask the following and people move to a rock depending on if they agree, disagree, or are undecided. * We’ve missed our window of opportunity and there is little we can do to fix it now. * Canada can’t do much even if it wanted to given that America’s contributing most of the emissions. * Having a greener future requires us to sacrifice our comforts or else make major lifestyle changes. * Climate action can’t be at the expense of economic growth. **6:00-6:10 - Food break** **6:10-6:50 - Diagnosing the Problem:** Here we break out into small groups and start to discuss the actual policies being put forward in Canada and how we feel about them. * Carbon capture * Consumer facing carbon price * TBD **6:50-7:30 - Moving Forward:** Time to stop ruminating and start building. Here we regroup to talk about solutions we can work towards so that we don’t have to fall into the pit of despair. * What is the responsibility of the individual, government and business when it comes to moving towards a greener future? * If you were suddenly prime minister what policies would you implement so that Canada can reach the Paris agreements? * If you could redesign one part of the business you work for to make it dramatically more sustainable, what would you change? * Is there an environmental habit you’ve changed that you’re proud of? If not, what habit would you like to adopt? **7:30 - Socialize:** The meetup is officially over, but you can stick around to chat by the fire and make some new friends! **[Join our Discord!](https://discord.gg/PxAsXAGfJj)**

RICHMOND HILL - Practical Philosophy Meetup 🇨🇦

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LeQf8jkVlt51v3Ms8Z4RBh?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LeQf8jkVlt51v3Ms8Z4RBh?mode=gi_t) for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LeQf8jkVlt51v3Ms8Z4RBh?mode=gi_t)! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨** We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 50+ chapters in over 25 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LeQf8jkVlt51v3Ms8Z4RBh?mode=gi_t) 👈** **Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈**
