[Environment-readinggroup] Summer break and next readings

[Fieke Jansen]

Hi everyone,

Thanks everyone for the great conversation we have been having around 
environment and infrastructure/technology. Last week we had a 
conversation about what we want to read next, how to structure the 
conversation, and if we want a summer break. Below you can find the 
following information. Feel free the debate any of these choices.

_Summer break_
We will have a summer break, where we will take July and Aug off and 
start afresh in September with the book 'After Geoenigineering: Climate 
Tragedy, Repair, and Restoration.

_Reading process_
Up till now we have had free floating conversation. We have been 
thinking if and how to structure the conversation a bit more and take 
people along who have not been able to read everything. Our proposition 
is that one person reads the reading carefully and give a 5 min informal 
presentation about the key takeaways. We take turn being the person who 
reads and presents. I will start next week with the final two chapters 
of the Value of a Whale.
