Straw Bale work on eco-building in St.Anns: Part 15

Activity is continuing at EcoWorks with the Straw Bale building. 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 spring has sprung and progress has resumed. The roof is being re-lined and

turfed after a small leak got sprung. This set shows the roof lining being replaced,

holes being repaired and the turf being Relaid.

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.
