meetforeal: Fred Pearce - WHAT IF...you knew where your stuff came from?

Fred Pearce - heralded as one of Britain’s finest science writers - has been leading the eco-journalism charge and challenging Earth’s enemies for over 20 years. Now Environmental Consultant for New Scientist magazine and author of the recently published Confessions of an Eco Sinner, Fred will be speaking at the Science Gallery as part of the new Meetforeal series of events- where passionate speakers inspire, ideas are shared on the spot and stimulating conversation are had between like-minded people.What if you knew where your cotton socks came from? Or knew about the person who picked your coffee beans? What if you knew how fresh green beans come to sit on the supermarket shelf all year round...? Would you stop buying them? Or would you in fact start buying them?

Have the opportunity to hear Fred’s tale first hand, learn how it fundamentally changed his thinking and ask him the questions you need answered by his often shocking and counterintuitive findings. More than just a lecture, this event will be a short talk, followed by a longer Q&A session, where you will have the chance as an audience member to make your voice heard, so come prepared!
