🌍 Join us for an insightful evening of learning and discussion at our upcoming "Café des idées" in partnership with FAST! (France Aotearoa Science Technology and Innovation).

📽️ We will be screening the documentary "Argentina's 'white gold': Will its lithium boom end badly?" followed by a thought-provoking discussion and Q&A session with Philippe Gerbeaux, president of FAST!

🔍 The documentary explores Argentina's vast reserves of lithium, a crucial element for electric batteries in the fight against climate change. However, the mining of lithium poses significant environmental concerns for the Andean salt plains and Indigenous communities in the region.

🌱 Let's delve into the complex issues surrounding lithium production, climate change, and ecological conservation. The event aims to foster knowledge-sharing and dialogue on scientific subjects and climate issues.

🗓️ Date: Monday 6th May
🕢 Time: 6PM
📍 Location: 275 Cashel Street

🎟️ Admission is free! Don't miss this opportunity to engage with important topics and contribute to the conversation on sustainability and environmental preservation.

Together, let's explore solutions for a more sustainable future! See you there! 🌿
