Earth and Economy

Editorial

Welcome to Earth and Economy, the joint newsletter of the Economic Issues and Sustainability & Peace programmes of Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW).

We hope this newsletter will give you an insight into the work of these two programmes, and will provide you with some ideas and opportunities for action.

You will see from the ‘Friends in action’ and ‘Conversation starter’ pages that the newsletter is not just for telling Friends what QPSW is doing. It’s also for Friends to share news about how they’ve been taking action. Please get in touch if you have something you would like to contribute.

By clicking on the links below, you will be taken to read the full article on the Quakernomics blog, a forum for discussion and debate about the relationships between economics, our lives, and the planet.
