We’re delighted to have Zion Lights, a Humanists UK Patron, coming to speak to us in May. She spoke at HUK’s 2023 Convention and also gave their 2023 Holyoake Lecture.
Zion is a science communicator who is known for her environmental advocacy work. She is the founder of the evidence-based climate activism group Emergency Reactor and author of The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting. Zion is also a leading speaker on clean energy, specifically nuclear energy, and also lectures on effective science communication, tackling misinformation, and climate action. She is the former editor of The Hourglass, Extinction Rebellion’s print newspaper, and was previously the group’s spokesperson for two years.
In this talk, Zion will be explaining how energy systems work, why and how urgently we need to decarbonise, and how we can get there. She’ll cover nuclear energy in depth, looking at the myths surrounding the technology, where they come from and what different countries are doing to counter (or surrender to) them.
This event is free and all are welcome, although we do ask for a voluntary contribution (in cash please) to help cover speakers’ costs.
