    Are you involved in astronomy education or outreach and looking for new ways to talk about the unique perspective of astronomy on our planet? We are all astronomy educators who love to bring an astronomical perspective to our view of Earth, emphasize that there is no Planet B, and empower Earthlings to take care of our one and only home. We have found some interesting resources and activities...

    We would like to have an informal coffee time get together of UK based astronomers (and those with UK links), to get to know each other, discuss what other astronomy groups are doing around sustainability, and share best practice between institutes. The agenda will be decided by those present. One idea is to discuss the recent University of Oxford travel policy.
