The Salt Spring Forum

Here's something to get you stargazing! Space people, Moriba Jah and Aaron Boley chat about Space Environmentalism. What is that junk up there? How much is there? How dangerous is it? Can we stop adding more? How does Indigenous environmental knowledge play a part? Moriba and Aaron are previous guests of the Forum. This video is produced by UBC's Green College and the Outer Space Institute. It is entertaining and informative and maybe a little scary-particularly if you get nervous changing lanes on Blanshard st in Victoria! You can watch it at saltspringforum.com or youTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59YHzDj1qx0 (link in bio as well) #spaceenvironmentalism #spacejunk #nightsky #satellites #SaltSpringIsland

Snow on the way? You can join your cat looking out the window or you can catch up on any of the 11 Forum videos from the past year that you might have missed. Fascinating and insightful discussions on the biggest topics of the past year, they are well worth watching for the first or second time.

Here's another new Forum video. Douglas Roche, former MP, Senator and Canada's Ambassador for Disarmament in an uplifting conversation with Michael Byers. They explore Roche's relationship with Joe Biden, a new era of potential world co-operation, and the shifting of some of the world's military budgets to social and sustainability needs amongst many other topics. All in all an optimistic way to go into 2021! You can watch at saltspringforum.com and https://youtu.be/UYLHcGLeS...C4 #joebiden #saltspringisland #disarmament #COVID #climatechange
