We are aware that many people involved with Ealing Transition are familiar with Earth Hour, the annual event where people all over the world switch off their lights for one hour to show they care about the planet. If you’re interested in observing Earth Hour in the company of others, you might want to come to the Ealing Quakers Meeting House at 17 Woodville Road this Saturday (28th March).
Ealing Quakers will be opening the meeting house for meditation, switching off all lights between 20:30 and 21:30.
‘Switch’ explores how we are gradually shifting from coal and oil to the energies of tomorrow. Rather than advocate for how it should happen, the film travels the world to discover how it is most likely to happen. It focuses on practical realities and encourages a balanced understanding. Run time is 98 minutes.
The event will take place at St Mary’s Church, St Mary’s Road, Ealing W5 5RH. Entry is free, but we will ask for donations after the film to help us cover costs. After the screening, there will be an opportunity to discuss the film’s messages over refreshments.
Thank you to those of you who have already contributed ideas towards exploring the possibility of developing a community energy initiative in Ealing. There will be opportunities to learn more about this possibility at the ‘Switch’ event. Also, a follow-up meeting will be held in the next few days after the film showing, specifically for people interested in taking practical proposals forward.
MindFood is a community interest company that helps people to recover from mental health issues by growing and selling food. Produce is sold into local communities – as well as our very own Edible Ealing veg box scheme.
The company is setting up a new sensory market garden in Ealing and has secured a new site at Cleverly Crescent, just north of Hangar Lane gyratory. They are looking for volunteers both to help set up the site, and ongoing. If you would like to help, please contact edharkness@mindfood.org.uk. More details at http://www.mindfood.org.uk
