About this category

Welcome to the online forum for the Conversation starter column of QPSW’s Sustainability… for Peace Newsletter. Conversation starter aims to get Friends talking, and acting, on sustainability. For each issue, a Friend is invited to share a hope or fear on sustainability, and challenge Friends and their meetings to act on it. This space provides a space for you to respond. Why not discuss it with your meeting and offer your collective response, or simply respond individually?

If you have a Conversation starter to offer for future issues, contact Sunniva Taylor, Sustainability and Peace Programme Manager at QPSW (sunnivat@quaker.org.uk, 020 7663 1047).
