Straw Bale work on eco-building in St.Anns: Part 13

Activity is starting again at EcoWorks: The Straw Bale building continues. The building had been covered for much of the winter, to keep the elements out. Back in October [see set 12 of this project], some of the bales were getting a little damp. The was some rot and a few mushrooms growing out of them. Thus these had to be changed and a better effort made to cover the structure over the last few months .....

But, now progress has resumed. The roof is being re-lined and turfed after a small leak got sprung.

Window frames ready for fitting have been produced. Roof struts are all secure and the glass panels on the lead edge of the roof [although fitted by the last in this series, has been finished off. The ends now have roof slates.

Spring Into Action
Thursday 5th - Wednesday 11th April 2007

A week of workshops, events, music and action on climate change happening at different venues across Nottingham.

Climate change is real and its happening now. Governments and corporations dream of continued economic growth - economic growth can't solve this crisis, but we can. A massive and concerted effort is needed on the scale of 'Dig for Victory' or the 'Home Front': A war on climate change.

We can't continue our current way of life - the oil on which it all depends is running out too fast. A shift to a locally based economy will have to happen, with food and energy being produced by the people that use it. The only question is when? We could start now, or we could wait for a future of war, famine, hurricanes, droughts and floods. We need to gain the courage and change fast enough to cultivate a new world, before it's too late.

'Spring into Action' is part of an emerging grassroots movement against climate change. Born out of the Camp for Climate Action (www.climatecamp.org.uk), 'Spring into Action' unites people across the east of England into making changes in our own lives, creating small scale solutions in our communities and resisting those who still seek their own short term gain over a safe future for us all.

So get involved, come join a workshop or run one yourself, come and help organise the change that you want to experience in our world.
