Showing the film Manufactured Landscapes, which is visually stunningly beautiful (see blurb below), and fundraising for the UK and Kenyan youth delegations to the climate negotiations in Copenhagen in December.
MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES is a feature length documentary on the world and work of renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. Burtynsky makes large-scale photographs of ‘manufactured landscapes’ – quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams. He photographs civilization’s materials and debris, but in a way people describe as “stunning” or “beautiful,” and so raises all kinds of questions about ethics and aesthetics without trying to easily answer them.
The film follows Burtynsky to China as he travels the country photographing the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. Sites such as the Three Gorges Dam, which is bigger by 50% than any other dam in the world and displaced over a million people, factory floors over a kilometre long, and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai’s urban renewal are subjects for his lens and our motion picture camera.
Shot in Super-16mm film, Manufactured Landscapes extends the narrative streams of Burtynsky’s photographs, allowing us to meditate on our profound impact on the planet and witness both the epicentres of industrial endeavour and the dumping grounds of its waste. What makes the photographs so powerful is his refusal in them to be didactic. We are all implicated here, they tell us: there are no easy answers. The film continues this approach of presenting complexity, without trying to reach simplistic judgements or reductive resolutions. In the process, it tries to shift our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it.

C4 is open to anyone who enjoys drawing - from manga to children's comics to graphic novels to one-panel cartoons - and would like to just come and sit down with us to have coffee and draw and talk... There are people from loads of different backgrounds and with very different drawing styles. One person in the group is a freelance comic artist, but beginners are more than welcome! Generally every Saturday session is very flexible, people can drop in at any time and although we often have group projects and activities, there's no compulsion to take part in them. At the end of last year we also had a 24-hour comic event: 5 of us stayed up 24 hours to draw a whole 24-page comic. We'll certainly be doing that again this year.

Bring your clothes and get them fixed rather than throwing stuff away.
There will be a sewing machine available and someone who knows how to use it to help people mend clothes.
There are a couple of colours of thread and a box of scraps of fabric for patches but if you want a really neat repair you'll need to bring colour matched patches and thread.
I also have some scraps of reflective fabric, which is useful for stuff like sewing onto cycling gear, especially gloves so people can see your hand signals now it's all dark and stuff.
If you need any specific info. call me on 07540 370493

Engineers Without Borders UK is an international development organisation that removes barriers to development through engineering. Our programmes provide opportunities for young people to learn about technology's role in tackling poverty. Supported by the EWB-UK community, our members can work on projects around the globe.

An informal discussion of how to encourage the use of Renewable Energy in Cambridge. The Transition Cambridge renewable energy group's aims are to :
- run a renewable energy generation project, raising money for other projects and creating more awareness of the value of renewable energy
- cooperate with other groups such as Cambridge Carbon Footprint in helping people to reduce their household energy consumption
- help to reduce the fossil fuel footprint of Cambridge
We are looking for ways to generate energy in the city itself if possible.
The projects we are researching at the moment include:
| A small turbine, perhaps at a local school, since we can't put a wind farm in the city, sadly. We would be very interested to hear of any nearby wind farms we could potentially promote | |
| Mini-finance | a small loans company (CDFI) for household energy efficiency and micro-generation projects |
| Rooftop PV | A company to buy and rent out Solar PV arrays, to help spread the cost |
| Energy Descent Plan | for Cambridge |
| AD (abandoned) | Our plans for generating electricity from anaerobic digestion from food waste have floundered because there does not seem to be enough waste to make it commercially viable |
| Hydropower | We are looking out for sites to try out a micro-hydro plant (e.g. 1kW). |
