Time Ahead for Bread & Roses - Talk by John de Graaf

John de Graaf is the author of Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic and 
the coordinator of the North American Take Back Your Time campaign. 
Overwork and time poverty threaten our happiness, health, families, 
communities, and environment. Once, workers marched for "bread and roses 
too" - higher wages and shorter hours. Yet today, emphasis is on "bread 
and butter", while non-material needs are shoved aside. John de Graaf 
will address these issues.

"Canada and the United States are among the world's richest nations. Our 
patterns of material over-consumption threaten to exhaust the earth. At 
the same time, Americans and Canadians increasingly find themselves 
time-poor. Overwork and time poverty threaten our happiness, health, 
families, communities, and environment. John de Graaf, author of 
Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic and coodinator of the North 
American Take Back Your Time campaign will address these issues and more."
