Carbon trading: an efficient solution to climate change, or a way for businesses to cash in on the crisis? Natalie Szarek discusses the problems with trying to solve climate change with the system that created it.

As part of CUSU Green Week (www.camgreenweek.com), this series of lunchtime discussions is based around how climate change affects and interacts with issues and concerns that other groups in Cambridge are working on.

'CUiD open Discussion Group: What Copenhagen means for developing countries and climate change.'

Three members of the UK Youth Climate Change Coalition (UKYCC), Anna Collins, Kirsty Schneeberger and Emilia Melville, who attended the UN climate change meetings in Copenhagen in December 2009 will facilitate a discussion on the implications of the talks for developing countries. This will be an opportunity to learn and share experiences of people who were present and at the talks as well as discussing the issue more broadly. All areas of interest, disciplinary background and level of study more than welcome.

 Rod has volunteered to regularly open the cafe every wednesday, for a chilled out afternoon cafe time, with chess, tea, cakes, and calm.

 Climate Change and Workers Rights

 If tackling climate change means closing airports, factories and power stations, what happens to the workers? Tom Woodcock discusses a workers perspective on climate change, and the fight for green jobs.

As part of CUSU Green Week (www.camgreenweek.com), this series of lunchtime discussions is based around how climate change affects and interacts with issues and concerns that other groups in Cambridge are working on.

The Peoples Cinema, films for the people!

Come and enjoy a regular series of thought provoking documentaries, lesser known cinema and general oddities. We are fully liscensed to sell tea and cake to the audience :)

Cafe open from 7:30pm, films begin at 8pm, stay around for discussion afterwards.

This Weeks Film: Microcosomos

A documentary shot using high definition cameras to capture the social and everyday lives of insects as they go about their lives. Set to instrumental music, we see creatures working together, building giant structures, carrying objects many times their size and generally come to appreciate the smaller worlds around us

This Weeks Discussion: Insect Society?

I haven't seen the film, so I can't predict how it will make us feel, but I'm imagining we'll have some reflections on worlds within worlds, how creatures work together for more than just themselves, or maybe we'll just be laughing at that beetle that couldn't quite make it up the hill... come and find out!

(Ben or whoever is doing the screening will be volunteering too, if you want to help out, you're more than welcome! If it's your first time just let us know and we can come a bit early and show you the ropes)

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.

This weeks Film: Zeitgeist Addendum

This Weeks Discussion: The Zeitgeist Movement

This week we'll be watching the zeitgeist film and discussing the issues and ideas it raises, explore what the zeitgeist movement is about and what we can do. Personally I don't know that much about the film, but have watched the first zeitgeist film and a documentary about the Venus Project, and both have a good amount of interesting ideas and concepts to explore, as well as problematic things that I'm sure we can discuss.

A meeting to discuss all things Cafe related and make decisions about said things. We are certain to discuss things such as baking, filling volunteer shifts, opening times, upcoming events & banking along with whatever else people think needs discussing.

Meetings run by consensus, generally with a big pot of tea, and should be incredibly inclusive and friendly...

If you have any agenda items for the meeting (whether you're coming or not), or are excluded by the day/time and would like to let us know when would better for you, please send a message to soc-cafe-discuss XXX lists.cam.ac.uk (where XXX stands for @ ) .

Peace & Love,

The Cafe

Lovely tea, cake, amnesty letters

 A specifically vegan baking session for the cafe, meet in the cafe at 1.30pm, bring any recipes or outlandish/specialised ingredients with receipts and you can be reimbursed, but check our baking page for details of the ingredients we already have in the cafe (sugar, flour etc). Otherwise just bring yourself - no experience required!

We'll meet up, and walk or cycle to the kitchen. We will be baking in a kitchen in a squatted building (which, by the way is very friendly, safe, exciting and legal!) The kitchen is also not very well-equipped, so if you have any useful utensils/big mixing bowls, please bring them along.

We're planning to make vegan pizza as well (just to eat ourselves!), so bring any toppings along (again, vegan please), we'll have the basics.

If you can't meet at 1.30pm and want to come along later for a bit, or have any questions, contact ali <alasdair.mussell[at]yahoo.co.uk> or 07849434636.

Please sign up for the shifts or let me know so that I know who to expect. x

CAN women get together for gender chat before the meeting!

mmm...tea.....

Film showing by UNIFEM Cambridge

UNIFEM is the Fund for Women Agency at the United Nations. It works to raise awareness and funding to promote social, economic and political empowerment and equality of women in developing countries, as well as domestic violence and forced prostitution in developed countries. UNIFEM Cambridge has organised its January – June campaign around the food crisis and the role that women play within it. This cycle of films link food to women in a light-hearted but deep way.

“Eat, Drink, Man, Woman” by Ang Lee is the story of an old Hong Kong chef who lives with his three unmarried daughters, Jia-Jen, a chemistry teacher converted to Christianity, Jia-Chien, an airline executive, and Jia-Ning, a student who also works in a fast food restaurant. Their life turns around the ritual of food and the preparation of an elaborate dinner each Sunday; however, unexpected events happen and start changing the life of one of the daughters, affecting the whole household.
