Held on Sunday the 3rd of Feb, from 2 - 10:30pm. at The Art Organisation, 21 Station Street, Nottingham.

The name of the event is 'Smarter than Yeast?' The paralell is draw between the exponatial growth of organisms and the exponatial growth of human activities, leading to a global collapse! Well, that's the economic growth model directly leading to climate change for you!

So, the event is to raise awareness of Transition Nottingham and to bring together some local groups and individuals with an interest in sustainability and to get some new people interested. Hopefully those that attend will go on to spread the word about Transitions...if we make it inspiring!

Transition Nottingham are supporting this event and organising or supporting other events involving different communities. It is hoped that a series of events will inspire people and get them thinking, talking and acting - who knows what solutions can then be found...

Speakers on peak oil, and the V3 folks on blade carving (for wind turbines), free shop, local groups promoting their projects, live music, poetry, storytelling, short films and visuals....

The venue was available throughout the day and evening. Talks and workshops were held during the day, with folks gathering together in early evening for presentations and films.

The lorry?

Is anyone else slightly amused by the fact that a fuck-off huge lorry was parked outside the event... to raise awareness about climate change!

Amused


false alarm

no it was woven out of sustainable yoghurt sourced outside the capitalist system.

no need to worry!

I really like the circled @'s around the cafe. Do they do an anarchist latte or a solidarity expresso?

Is this what "Nottingham's Finest" get up to when they aren't spying on peaceful people?

Well it's nice to see that shit thick idiot trolls still have nothing other to add to the debate than primary school 'humour.'

You may not have noticed but global warming activists have been banging on about climate change for decades. It's now a mainstream political debate.

Tittering behind your hands at people with weird hair hasn't had much of an impact on anything has it?

Looks great - well done everyone. The pics were uplifting (sitting watching the fucking traffic here, feeling crap) reminding me to get busy and get organised. Cheers peeps x

No wheels?

It looks great folks, nice one. Maybe an idea for next time though- have some bike stuff going on? Windmills maybe beautiful, but they aren't much use in cities. Bikes are, and giving people safe route maps/ maintenence skills/ encouragement can make an imediate practical difference to whether or not people ride. X
