SUMMARY:THE CITY THAT GROWS ITS OWN
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk on urban farming and self-provisioning cities with MIT professor and author\, Kate Brown. \nFive-thousand Parisian farmers grew vegetables for two million Parisians at the turn of the 19th century. Black residents of Washington\, DC paid down on their homes during the Great Depression by maintaining truck gardens on their urban plots. Soviet and Cuban urbanites staved off a famine in the 1990s after the collapse of Soviet agriculture by farming urban peripheries. These stories have been missed in plain site because they do not coincide with ideas of urban progress and neat categorizations dividing urban from rural. Recapturing these stories points to the efficacy of small-holder intensive farming in urban areas which produce a wealth of waste than can be recycled into nutrients. These stories also point to a history of urban commons and mutual aid societies that undermine triumphal or inevitable histories of capitalism. \nKate Brown is Professor of Science\, Technology and Society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She is the author of several prize-winning histories\, including Plutopia: Nuclear Families\, Atomic Cities\, and the Great Soviet and American Plutonium Disasters (Oxford 2013). Her latest book\, Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future (Norton 2019)\, translated into nine languages. She is currently working on a history of self-provisioning cities as a way to imagine a post-carbon urban life. \nJoin us on Zoom here – https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89023327189

SUMMARY:HEALTH IS A GIFT YOU GIVE YOURSELF
DESCRIPTION:VegMichigan and the Troy Public Library bring you Health is a Gift You Give Yourself by Dr. Robert Breakey. \nOur “Standard American Diet” is largely responsible for the epidemic of chronic diseases that we are experiencing in America including obesity\, diabetes\, chronic kidney disease\, hypertension\, heart disease\, and several cancers. The good news is that we have made great progress in identifying the root causes for these chronic diseases\, and we are recognizing that all of them are largely preventable\, and many are even reversible through some straightforward lifestyle changes. By choosing whole plant-based foods that are truly health-supporting\, engaging in at least moderate exercise\, and ensuring that we sleep well\, we have the opportunity to greatly enhance our health and vitality well into our elder years. \nDr. Robert Breakey is a 5th generation graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School. He completed his Family Medicine residency at the University of Wisconsin in 1984 and has practiced Lifestyle Family Medicine in Ann Arbor since 1985. He is Chairman of the Board and Head of the Family Medicine Division for IHA – a multi-specialty medical group centered in and around Ann Arbor. \nPlease register here to receive the Zoom link – https://live-troypl.pantheonsite.io/events/gift-health-dr-robert-breakey
