Want to find out more about the environment?
Visit our stand, as well as the ZeroCarbonCity Poster Exhibition, at the Ecolife Festival, taking place at the OAKA Olympic Sports Complex, and learn all about global footprinting and global warming through a range of stimulating educational activities, including interactive games and food tasting experiments!
Educational Workshops – Energy for Life
Food for Thought
We will run a series of food tasting experiments with representatives from Oxford University on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 June 2006 exploring how we perceive our food.
It’s not just our sense of taste – our other senses such as sight, touch, and especially smell, play a major part in our perception of food. Do different coloured smarties really have different flavours or have the coloured shells fooled you? Join us at the OAKA Olympic Sports Complex and find out if you’re a supertaster. Book early as places are limited!
When: Saturday 24 June 2006, 9–10 p.m, and Sunday 25 June 2006, 8–9 p.m & 9–10 p.m.
NorthSouthEastWest Poster Exhibition
This poster exhibition is a major component of our ZeroCarbonCity Campaign. Ιt is in partnership with The Climate Group and involves photography from the Magnum Photographic Agency.
Ten of the world’s top photographers from Magnum were commissioned to capture images from ten diverse countries around the world to illustrate the impact of climate change. These photographers were also asked to chronicle the range of solutions to reduce carbon emissions in communities from the north, south, east and west of the globe. This has produced some inspiring images, which detail the resourceful ways in which these communities have adapted.
Seen through the eyes of photographers, NorthSouthEastWest takes a 360 degree look at climate change and the urgent need for action. From life at the rising water’s edge in the Marshall Islands, to riding high on a solar fuelled Ferris wheel in LA, NorthSouthEastWest is a message on climate change for wherever, and however, you live in the world.
The exhibition pictures real examples of our changing climate and the effects can be clearly viewed in many countries with images of extreme weather events, trends in arctic ice cap thickness, observed glacier retreats, poor urban air quality, environmental refugees, and lack of available water. The exhibition also looks at energy efficiency, renewable energy, fuel cell technology, combined heat and power plants, effective public transport systems, carbon capture and storage, and emissions trading. Finally, it looks at people; the faces and voices that are making a difference to our changing climate.
When: 23–26 June 2006
