When we can, we would like to share information on local sustainability, celebrating community, global and environmental issues. We showcase this information as a poster exhibition at each market. Here are what we have done so far, if you would like to contribute ideas on exhibitions please let us know.
Soil – we can’t live without it
Soils are vital to our health – they grow the foot we eat and if they are healthy, then the food we eat is far more nutritious than food grown in degraded soils. Find out more by clicking on the link to our soil mini-exhibition.
Saving Nature Saving Us
Because nature is free, we often take it for granted and overexploit it. We clear forests, overfish oceans, pollute rivers and build over wetlands without taking account of the impact this will have. Without nature there is no humanity and we have stretched it to it’s maximum, if we don’t seriously restore it’s balance the future is grim. Here are the pdf files of our Saving Nature – Saving Us mini exhibition.
International Workers Day
The History
We celebrate International Workers’ Day on May 1st to celebrate the labour movement and the working classes. The celebration takes place on the 1st of May to commemorate the pivotal events in Chicago in 1886 when workers striking for an eight-hour day at the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company faced violent attacks from police, which sparked more protests and rallies across the city. The protests in Chicago became the catalyst for efforts worldwide to enshrine better working conditions. Click here for a pdf of our exhibition
The Horrors of Plastic
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. We wanted to produce a series of posters to highlight this problem.
Sustainable Farming
This is a paragraph from the new Outline Proposals for Sustainable Farming in Wales: “We simply must respond to the climate and nature emergencies if we are to ensure we have a sustainable and resilient agriculture sector for future generations. These emergencies represent the biggest threat to global food security, but we equally need Welsh farmers to continue to produce high quality food and maintain high production standards”
Celebrating Ancestors
Most people are aware that Halloween’s origins lie in the northern European Celtic and pagan festival of Samhain. Fewer people are aware of the unique and macabre Welsh traditions of our very own that are precursors to what is now known as Halloween.
“Literally translated from the Welsh ‘Winter’s Eve’, Noson Galan Gaeaf originated from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain, which commemorated the end of the autumn and harvest season and the beginning of winter,” explains Dr Emma Lile, ethnology and folklore author.
We created a poster exhibition to celebrate all those that have gone before us.
A Green Christmas
The cost of living crisis has affected most people and the price of consumerism is detracting from the true spirit of Christmas—of kindness, giving and compassion for family, friends and community. We have put a few ideas together for a more sustainable and cheaper Christmas.
