 Ealing Transition

 

7.30pm in St Mary’s Church, St Mary’s Road, South Ealing:

Screening of “End of the Line”, a film about saving the oceans.

 

Alongside climate change and peak oil, resource depletion is a strong argument for a more sustainable way of living. Overfishing is the great environmental disaster people haven’t heard about.  This film sounds a wake-up call about modern fishing practices and explores the alternatives.  Watch the preview at http://endoftheline.com

 

Tea and coffee will be served after the film. Entrance is free, though donations are very welcome.

Recycling Event (Not sure of times yet)

 

Ealing Recycling Team have invited us to take part in an event on outside Christ the Saviour Church , New Broadway. 

 

 

1.30pm  Kew Bridge Eco Village

 

At 1.32pm the Sun will be passing directly over the Equator, marking the official start of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and the start of the celebrations down by the Thames. Kew Bridge Eco Village invites people to join them for music, food and festivities.  If you’ve never visited the site this would be a good first time. Let’s hope it’s a little bit more spring-like by then.
