Nicole Foss: ‘We Need Freedom of Action To Confront Peak Oil’ from You Tube

Hi folks,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvoFJsqF1wQ&feature=related (Please copy and paste to see this as I can’t get an HTML link to show up. Ali)

I wanted to forward this link to you all, because what Nicole has been speaking about for several years now is -

1) So pertinent to what Canalside is doing.

And -

2) So clear-seeing about the reasons why the team who now have Canalside airborne, and are flying it higher as fast as they can go, are doing exactly the right thing. When you’re slogging grimly through the winter mud and cold, and wondering why you’re breaking your back for little pay, you need to be reassured as much as ever possible that this is precisely the right thing to be doing, to prepare as well as maybe for the unprecedented upheavals and crises which are already happening, and which, assuredly, will get much fiercer over this next decade. This is, quite literally, a matter of life and death for many people just a little way down the line; like it was in Soviet Russia after 1989.

May I asks whoever first fields this email to tell and show it around the Leasowe Farm people — and of course all the sharers who want to see it — as much as you can. Thanks.

Participation Culture, Creativity & Social Change video

One of our members forwarded on the below link to a great lecture by David Gauntlett on YouTube. Although it’s 10 minutes long, I really would recommend watching it – from a Popular Media perspective, he explains very simply what we, as individuals, can do to make a difference to both social and environmental issues that affect each and every one of us today.
