"GOMOBAAT - Gathering Our Minds One Book At A Time". The Greener Reader is a consciousness raising book club focused on reading and discussing texts (and sometimes films) that intersect with the topics of sustainability, place, "Cli-Fi" and potential futures, democracy and civic engagement, environmental ethic, history from the perspective of food and other underrepresented perspectives, contested narratives, and the “unspoken complexities of the human heart”. We meet (almost always) on the last Tuesday of every month to read together in silent solidarity, share what we're reading, and discuss the book of the month. 1-3 times a month we gather in public green space to read as well.
