Earth Set Bookclub: Plastic Inc: Big Oil, Big Money and the Plan to Trash Our Future
For November, Earth Set Bookclub turns to plastic – not where it ends up, but where it comes from, and the vast industry determined to make more of it.
Join us for dinner with Beth Gardiner, award-winning journalist and author of Plastic Inc., a deeply researched investigation into the oil and petrochemical companies behind the plastics boom. Gardiner follows the money, politics and industry strategy connecting plastic to the future of fossil fuels – and asks why, even as the world tries to use less, production is still accelerating.
As ever, an informal, probing and discussion-led evening around one table.
Tuesday 17th November, 7.30–10pm
📍 Côte Brasserie, St Christopher’s Place, London W1U 1ND
🎟️ £10 to reserve your place, then pay for your own dinner on the night + a contribution towards Yasmin’s. -
Tuesday, 3rd November 2026
For years, much of the climate conversation has focused on cutting emissions, setting targets and phasing out fossil fuels. Now, increasingly, the focus is shifting to what replaces them. And the answer, across an extraordinary range of sectors, is electricity.
Ahead of COP31 in Türkiye, we're asking whether electrification could become one of the defining themes of the next decade. The emerging 35x35 initiative, aiming for electricity to account for 35% of global final energy consumption by 2035, offers an ambitious rallying point. But what would it actually take to get there? And how do we ensure that electrification delivers prosperity and opportunity, particularly in emerging economies?
We'll explore the international momentum behind electrification, the opportunities and obstacles ahead, and some remarkable real-world successes we've uncovered through our work on Lightning Bolts, a new initiative to identify and celebrate the people and projects already making it happen.
Join us for a lively discussion about one of the most important transformations of our time, followed by the usual Earth Set drinks, networking and conversation.
📅 Tuesday 3rd November, 6.30–9pm
📍 Octopus Energy & EV HQ, Oxford Circus
