It is a serious issue that, I believe, ties in with some of the points I have made about ‘greenwashing’.
As everyone, rarely with any great sincerity, jumps on the Green bandwagon, there seems to be generally widespread acknowledgement that we have a climate change problem on our hands, but people seem prone to believing that it is being taken in hand, and therefore they can stop worrying and taking an interest – as they do their bit by using a few low energy lightbulbs so what let’s all just relax.

One tragic mistake after another, methinks.

“Democracy is still a work in progress,” say the two project leaders Marc Bühlmann (Zurich) and Prof. Wolfgang Merkel (Berlin). Sustainable democratization is needed, even in established democracies.”

Sustainable Wales is pleased to welcome more artists to its Green Room
Series of events, held at 41, John St., Porthcawl.

On FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, at 8pm, writer Zoe Skoulding, musician Alan
Holmes, and community artist and academic, Nick Clements, will discuss
Their work with the public and local artists.

Zoë Skoulding is a poet and editor, now in charge of the international
Quarterly, Poetry Wales. Zoes latest book, Remains of a Future City (Seren)
Was on the Welsh Book of the Year list, 2008.
One of the most exciting aspects of Zoes work is her combination of poetry
With experimental soundscapes, based on collaborations with many
Musicians.

One of these is Alan Holmes, who has played in a host of adventurous rock
Groups in Wales, including Ectogram, and is praised by critics for his sheer
Inventiveness. This is Alans first visit to Porthcawl, an occasion modern
Music-lovers should not miss.

Nick Clements helped found Pioneers Art Group in 1981, which created
Hundreds of murals, mosaics, sculptures, stained glass, ceramic, and many
Media art works until 2004. Pioneers worked with tens of thousands of local
People to create landmark art, as well as developing public art commissions.
Nick is now Visiting Professor at Staffordshire and Warsaw Universities.

For a fascinating evening, Sustainable Wales hopes to see you
February 4, at 41, John St., Porthcawl, for the latest GREEN ROOM
Event. Remember: those who have art have all.
