                          <p>“It’s hard to imagine a novel more perfectly suited, in both form and content, to this literary moment. <em>Station Eleven</em>, if we were to talk about it in our usual way, would seem like a book that combines high culture and low culture – “literary fiction” and “genre fiction.” But those categories aren’t really adequate to describe the book” – <em>The New Yorker</em></p>
                          <p>“Strange, poetic, thrilling, and grim all at once, <em>Station Eleven</em> is a prismatic tale about survival, unexpected coincidences, and the significance of art.” – <em>Bustle</em></p>

                          <p>Should the Connecticut state constitution be amended to give residents the right to pure air and water, and the right to a healthy and stable climate? Should the U.S. Constitution safeguard those rights? Is this practical and how would it work legally and politically?</p>
                          <p>In recent years a robust political movement has arisen to enshrine basic environmental protections -- such as the right to clean air, clean water, and a stable climate -- into state constitutions as fundamental rights that every citizen should enjoy. Montana, Pennsylvania, and <a href="https://nygreen.pace.edu/">New York</a> have all approved "Green Amendments," and several other states are currently considering them. The campaign to pass a Green Amendment in Connecticut began in 2022.</p>
                          <p>The goal of the <a href="https://forthegenerations.org/the-green-amendment/">Green Amendment for the Generations</a> movement is to create a political movement sweeps the nation and secures for all people constitutional recognition and protection of their inalienable rights to pure water, clean air, a stable climate and healthy environments. The movement seeks to inspire and support pursuit and passage of self-executing, environmental rights amendments in the Bill of Rights section of every state constitution across the U.S. and ultimately at the federal level.</p>
                          <p>Join us as we hear from scientist and activist Dr. Kimberly Stoner, currently the Advocacy Director for the Connecticut chapter of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (CT-NOFA), about the effort to pass a Green Amendment in Connecticut.</p>
                          <p>This is our monthly meeting, held on the third Monday of the month. We usually start with half an hour of coffee and conversation at 6:30 PM, followed by the main program after brief announcements at 7:00 PM.</p>

                          <p>Join us for our August dinner discussion! One of the 10 Commitments of Humanism is ethical development. From <a href="https://americanhumanistcenterforeducation.org/ten-commitments/">https://americanhumanistcenterforeducation.org/ten-commitments/</a>
                            <strong>“I will always focus on becoming a better person.”</strong> The key to understanding ethical development is acknowledging that nobody is perfect or has all the answers. Ethical development is a never-ending process that requires constant reflection and evaluation of our personal choices and the consequences they have on others. Fairness, cooperation, and sharing are among the first moral issues we encounter in our ethical development as human beings and are often embraced intuitively, but each new day carries with it new challenges and new moral dilemmas. We should continually adapt and rebuild our moral frameworks with the goal of becoming ever better human beings. What does ethical development mean to you? What do you do to demonstrate this? Come join us and be prepared to share your best practices and ask questions of the other attendees!
