Sustainability Reading Club

In November 2021, we started a reading club! Its purpose is twofold:

  1. To create a platform for guided and meaningful discussions pertaining to sustainability.
  2. To bring together like-minded individuals who want to share their insights, but also learn from other sustainability enthusiasts.

This year, we are looking forward to continuing our tradition of hosting lively and casual discussions on books about sustainability! 😀
