Why not fill your lunch break with an informative talk from one of North America’s most influential female writers of our time? Naomi Klein is coming to UBC on Thursday April 7th to deliver a compelling presentation on the way our economy is killing our planet. This two hour presentation stems from topics discussed in her top selling book (named one of the 100 Notable Books of 2014 by the New York Times) This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate. Call it the perfect educational pregame before a long and undoubtedly contemplative lunch! [photo: Kourosh Keshiri]
