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.
