The Green Movement
June 1, 2007 Posted by Clare in : Bristol, Environment , trackback
GreenBristol is running two spectacular events in the next few days:
Ten movers, clad in striking green body-suits will perform a drifting dance. This curious happening will spark people’s interest in green mapping.
The first performances are at the Festival of Nature on Saturday 2nd June at 11 am and 2 pm. Last year the event attracted 25,000 people and it will be televised by the BBC.
The second performances are on World Environment Day - Tuesday June 5th. These will take place at 12.30 and 1.30 pm in the plaza at Temple Quay. In addition pupils from Hannah More Environmental School will be chalking positive messages for change.
These events promote green-mapping and our proposal for a city-wide green map of Bristol. A green map is an information resource for more sustainable living. Green mapping can also be used to explore creatively local and global environmental issues via new media. For an example see Bedminster’s green map and our London partner’s site.
The dance performances will be facilitated by Eric Mutch of the Fun
Revolution.
Who are we?
GreenBristol is a co-operative that raises environmental awareness and promotes community sustainability in Bristol. They printed a green map of East Bristol on behalf of Neighbourhood Solutions for distribution to all 4,200 households in the area. They are now working with local partners to create a city-wide online green map of Bristol.
