The Northwest Earth Institute offers seven study guides for small-group discussion. Topics Choices for Sustainable Living Menu for the Future Global Warming: Changing CO2urse Voluntary Simplicity Healthy Children-Healthy Planet Discovering a Sense of Place Exploring Deep Ecology   The courses provide a setting to examine personal values and habits, engage in stimulating conversation, create meaningful community, and consider ways to take action towards creating a more sustainable future.   Discussion courses consist of an average of 8 to 12 people who meet weekly or bi-weekly for an hour to discuss readings from one of NWEI's course books.  The study guides, each about 100 pages, contain a diverse collection of short essays, articles, and book excerpts organized around weekly themes to create lively discussion.   To read the course descriptions and learn more, please visit www.nwei.org. We are looking to form one or more discussion groups here in Austin! If you are interested in participating in a discussion course, please contact Diana Dierks at 512-762-9592 or .
