Our third mini-seminar was ‘From Consumer Culture to Sustainability’ presented by Dr Terry Newholm.
Dr Newholm was co-author of The Ethical Consumer in 2005 and is currently Hon. Reader in Consumption Ethics at University of Manchester. He illustrated the complex challenge we face in trying to address climate change and species loss. One of his key areas of interest is in ethical consumption in a world where human activity is increasingly seen as having a detrimental effect on our environment.
