WONKY WEATHER
TOUR Clara, Steve and Dhara write:
We started with Newcastle Green Fair at the beginning of May 2002, followed by the Northern Permaculture Convergence Calderdale, and York Rising Tide. Halifax Green Fair 1st June Gorgeous sunshine and the first opportunity to put up the Rising Tide display banners - 3 large screen printed banners taking people through climate justice issues, corporate greenwash, what climate chaos is, and about rising tide as a network. Also, Kate Evan's "Funny Weather" cartoon guide to climate change made it out for the first time with it's new colour cover. The day was the annual Green Fair put on by Calderdale FoE, and although we weren't overwhelmed with visitors, it gave us a chance to catch up with people met over the winter in Calderdale, and show them what we do. We left as preparations began for the evening's royal jubilee thing... Strawberry Fair, Cambridge 8th June Wow, what a busy day! This felt like our first big and hectic gig of the year. We powered sw@rm's cinema and lovely fairy lights, and the redbrick's cafe. At the entrance of the green field, our wind generators and panels were visible from a lot of the site, and we had a load of visitors. About 500 climate cartoons were taken, Rising Tide videos playing all day, and lots of "engaging" conversations. We got to chat with other people interested in biodiesel, and recruited some help with this project. And we survived...
