The Scottish Ecological Design Association would like to invite RSA Fellows to a private screening of Underkastelsen, a film about chemicals in our environment by Stefan Jarl.
Screening: Thursday, 1 December 2016, 18:00 to 20:30
Location : Room G.04, University of Edinburgh, 50 George Square, EH8 9JU
Unlike other documentaries that focus on chemicals in our food, “Submission” investigates chemicals we are exposed to in our daily lives, such as softeners (phthalates), flame retardants (PBDE) and surfactants (PFOS, PFOA). The film considers the chemicals found in our bodies and shares the insights of many experts on the consequences of those chemicals for the world surrounding us and on unborn children.
Light refreshments and drinks will be available for purchase from 6pm. The film starts at 6.30pm. Running time is 87 minutes.
Tickets are free, but you will need to register here and search for SEDA or paste this into your browser

Controversial Conversations – Part One: Palm Oil
Building up to a final event the participants have explored the complexity of the issues, understanding different viewpoints, trying ideas out and coming up with solutions. The pilot will culminate with young people coming together later this year to discuss their ideas and findings with local Fellows, Edible Oils Collaboration and https://www.iucn.org/IUCN representatives. The outcome will be a position paper produced by the participants on the sustainable use of palm oil. We will share the paper and a report through the RSA network so you can see what young people are thinking. The project will be evaluated before initiating future conversations on controversial issues defined by policy makers and young people. Please contact wayne.talbot@decourcyalexander.co.uk if you’d like to know more, or if you’re interested in attending the final event on 14th November, or if you have a suggestion for future conversations that would benefit from a youth perspective.
