14.01.2022 Book Signing - Gerry Gillespie Paperchain Bookstore 10.30-11.30am Thursday 29 October 2020... You are invited to join us in store for a book-signing with local author, researcher, international speaker and organic expert Gerry Gillespie, whose new book is The Waste Between Our Ears: The Missing Ingredient to Disrupt Climate Change Is in the Trash. (Note that the book will be launched ONLINE at 9am on Wednesday 28 October, one day prior to the in-store signing at Paperchain. See below for link to launch.) In The Waste Between Our Ears, Gillespie explains how we need to change our minds about waste management systems, how to reconnect our organic waste to local soil and food growers, and why this leads to more local jobs. With chapters about source separation, soil management and climate change, and practical approaches to zero waste, the author presents a logical, practical argument for one way to save the world and grow a local economy. He details how this reduction of waste is already being achieved in parts of the world and how we could do it globally if we could only think differently. Advocates, nonprofit directors, waste managers, landfill directors, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, eco-farmers and anyone searching for environmental solutions and opportunities with source separation should not only read this book we can change our thinking, and put Gillespie’s plan into action! ONLINE BOOK LAUNCH AND DISCUSSION The book will be launched via Zoom at 9am on Wednesday 28 October. The launch features a panel of expert speakers from across the world and promises to be an important conversation about our environment, covering soils, management of waste, social issues, health and the economy.
