Our friends over at The Schumacher Institute have got some cash to document Bristol’s history of Sustainability. They are looking for some volunteers to help out. Can you get involved?
Here’s the blurb:
Bristol has an enviable reputation as a ‘green city’ that is leading Britain’s efforts to become a sustainable nation. It was the only UK city to be nominated for the EU Green Capital Award in 2008 and continues to demonstrate unwavering dedication to the environmental movement.
The Schumacher Institute has been awarded a grant by the Heritage Lottery Fund to document Bristol’s history of ‘sustainability.’ We want document the history which shaped Bristol’s involvement in the environmental movement as well as identify the ways in which Bristol can be defined as a ‘sustainable city’.
We want to discover the people, organisations and community groups who have developed Bristol as an environmentally-aware city and the circumstances, personal, political and cultural, which led to their involvement. This will involve exploring how they started this journey, what influenced them, the barriers they have overcome, their successes, their failures, what they have learnt and the fun they have had along the way!
We are looking for volunteers to help with the research as well as community groups who would like to collaborate to document their part in Bristol’s Green Heritage.
