Join our discussion meeting where we’re talking about offsets! Ethical offsets, moral offsets, carbon offsets, cow offsets, suffering offsets, human murder offsets 👀, … Basically, the idea is to undo wrongs caused in one area by donating right-equivalent amounts to charities working in those areas. Find us in room R2-14 of the Redpath Complex from 6pm to 7:30pm on Monday, January 22nd!
