Transition Town Shrewsbury

Due to unforeseen circumstances the film that will now be shown is:

2012: Time for Change (85mins) – ‘an optimistic alternative view to apocalyptic doom and gloom. The film follows journalist Daniel Pinchbeck on a quest for a new paradigm that integrates the archaic wisdom of tribal cultures with the scientific method. Rather than breakdown and barbarism, 2012 heralds the birth of a regenerative planetary culture where collaboration replaces competition, where exploration of psyche and spirit becomes the new cutting edge, replacing the sterile materialism that has pushed our world to the brink.’ – No nudity…

A community event to plant an ‘edible hedge’ along the old canal path between New Park Street and St. Michael’s Gate.

Meet on the Old Canal Path at 10 am Thursday 16th February (half-term week). Children need to come with a responsible grown up.

Hot drinks and cakes provided.  Bring a spade or a trowel if you have one. Wear sturdy footwear and outdoor clothing.

More than 930 people brought their cardboard to us on Saturday,  sending a strong message to the Council that kerbside collections need to be reinstated.  We’re still just waiting for the final figures but it should be at least 5 tonnes of cardboard prevented from going into landfill.  Thanks to everyone who gave us their cardboard and  the generosity of our 48 volunteers and local companies giving their time and resources for free,  we’ll have raised some cash for the Hospice and Hope House.  Watch this space for the final scores on the doors and news of what happens next on cardboard collections for Shropshire.

In the meantime,  please:

1. sign the petition for kerbside collection on  http://petitions.shropshire.gov.uk/petitions.ti/cardboard
2. hang on to your cardboard if you have space; collecting cardboard for your neighbours, friends and workmates if you can; and
3. share car loads to the Household Recycling Centre or collection points at Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s to keep those cardboard miles down.

Thanks!   Ali and Katy
