discuss: International Environmental Concerns

Mon May 12 6:30 pm
@ GlobeHopper
Back Porch Conversations at GlobeHopper - Open issue-based dialogue.
You are cordially invited to join us for conversations on the Back Porch, Monday evenings at GlobeHopper coffee house. GlobeHopper, located at 2100 E Main Street, is home to a weekly forum of open issue-based community discussions. Back Porch moderates multi-media discussions based on social topics of social-interest. Gathering begins at 6:30pm, multi-media discussion begins promptly at 7:00pm.

This Monday, May 12 we will be deviating from the original scheduled topic of local foods to talk about recent happenings in the news. Last week’s cyclone in Burma has left one million survivors without foreign aid and we thought we should use this Monday to talk about international environmental concerns such as the cyclone, exploring the role of the international community in addressing these issues .

Join us to talk about the social aspects of environmental issues and disasters. We will examine the concept of environmental injustice: the idea that environmental issues tend to disproportionately impact people of lower socio economic status.

DeVotchKa @ Toad’s

Thu May 15 8:00 pm
If you are a fan of gypsy-rock music, ala Man Man and Gogol Bordello, then you will love this innovative Denver based-band. DeVotchKa’s new album, A Mad and Faithful Telling is out. Don’t miss this special band with an accordion, violin and trumpet combo which will turn Toad’s into a gypsy-punk tent show. Their sound is worlds away from the mile high city & will, no doubt, be an amazing show to see live!
