Greenprint: Festival of radical eco ideas

Greenprint is a festival of radical eco ideas and actions; a platform to shine a light on real potential for ecological transformation in practical ways.

Checking back to say Greenprint 2020 was such a strange week! COVID changed pretty much everything but many events & convos still took place. Some things were able to switch online easily. Timely prompt to embrace #adaptation! Watch @Hope4Boro as we follow-up in coming months.

Excited to be curating a couple of weeks of grassroots actions and wisdom sharing. This is a fantastic selection of some of the great eco projects working hard to realise a better world - both here in Teesside and with a global view.

Lots of disruption should be anticipated this week but many of the groups hosting something at #Greenprint will still be doing their thing. In some ways, this is the perfect time to think about living differently #deepadaptation #Middlesbrough #Teesside #Grassroots #environment

after XR had to pull out of large gatherings it meant @cameradosboro were in line to kick-off #Greenprint with a Public Living Room at @BoroFactory .
More to come this week

Unconference was superb! Lots of inspiration and openness for a transformed Middlesbrough.

@BlueprintBoro unconference; some big themes and ideas coming out. Why does fear stop us trying something different? Wouldn’t it be easier if we make stuff easily accessible for everyone? The solution is with us #blueprint
