Author Annette Jensen reads from Holy Shit on Tuesday

Author and journalist Annette Jensen will present her non-fiction book "Holy Shit-The Value of our Legal" in the Heinrich Schulz library on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The book addresses the waste of drinking water for toilet rinsing and the associated problem of global nitrogen and phosphorus circuits. Despite the serious effects on the environment, this topic is often neglected. Annette Jensen will not only show the problem, but also present possible solutions and discuss it with the audience.

Annette Jensen, born in Itzehoe, is a studied political scientist and Germanist and, as a freelance journalist and author, has specialized in topics such as economic, ecological and social sustainability.

The book "Holy Shit" is based on Rubén Abruña's documentary of the same name and critically deals with the handling of society with its legacies. The reading and discussion with Annette Jensen takes place in the Heinrich Schulz library in Berlin and participation is free of charge.

It is important that such events help to raise awareness of environmentally relevant topics and to open up new perspectives. The discussion about sustainability and the value of our natural resources is of great importance to make positive changes.
