Bakesale recap, new food and JOHN ROBBINS!
welcome back Santa’s Cruz’s own internationally best selling author (Diet
for a New America) John Robbins for his newest title.
The
New Good Life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from
conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of
success was measured by cash, stocks, and various luxuries, the new view
will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly
matters. A passionate manifesto on finding meaning beyond money and
status, this book delivers a sound blueprint for living well on less. In
a spiritual but authoritative voice, Robbins lets readers in on healthy
tips, whether it’s detailing how to create your own definition of
success based on your deepest beliefs and life experience, to lowering
blood pressure with inexpensive alternatives. The New Good Life
provides much-needed hope and comfort in a time of fear and uncertainty.
Here is everything you need to develop high-joy, low-cost solutions to
life's challenges. Practical and timely, this book equips you with the
skills needed not only to survive but to thrive in these challenging
times.
Please
join us for what is sure to be an insightful and noteworthy evening as
John Robbins discusses & reads from his new title. (There will also
be an audience Q&A)."

Event!
From the Facebook page:
Come listen as PETA vice president Bruce Friedrich faces off against members of the UCSC Ethics Bowl Team on this very question!
Bruce Friedrich is vice president of policy for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world's largest animal rights organization. He has debated meat, fur, and animal-experimentation industry representatives on countless television and radio programs, including NBC's Today show as well as various programs on CNN, the Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and Court TV. He is a frequent contributor to HuffingtonPost.com, and coauthored a book about activism, the widely praised Animal Activist's Handbook (www.animaladvocacybook.com). He also produced the influential PETA film "Meet Your Meat", which is narrated by Alec Baldwin and was viewed more than 1 million times last year alone.
Ethics Bowl is a team-debate style competition. It is an event designed to develop and demonstrate students' capacity for ethical analysis and judgment.
Student teams analyze case studies that demonstrate ethical dilemmas drawn from a wide range or areas (environmental ethics, biomedical ethics, business ethics, institutional ethics, personal ethics, etc.) This analysis enables students to determine a morally defensible resolution to the dilemmas, a resolution that they defend before a panel of judges and a competing team.
This event is co-hosted by peta2 and Banana Slugs for Animals.
