POSTCARDS FOR THE PLANET
13th June 2008
Please help us to raise funds for Bristol Friends of the Earth by creating your very own ‘Postcard for the Planet’.
From 29 September to 12 October 2008, BFoE will be holding an exhibition at the Tobacco Factory, Southville. We are searching for artists who would like to take this opportunity to showcase their work and support ‘green’ action in the Bristol area, by contributing hand-made postcards for this exciting event.
Our Postcards for the Planet will be sold at the exhibition launch on Tuesday 30 September, and funds raised will be used to support BFoE local campaigns
The postcards will be displayed anonymously, each for sale individually at a fixed price. The price will remain the same no matter who contributed them, whether established artist or small child. Once purchased, the buyer will then be able to discover the details of the artist on the reverse.

A Load of Rubbish
17th June
Sign our new anti-incinerator petition at http://epetitions.bristol.gov.uk/petition.php?id=180
The West of England Partnership are currently proposing to use PFI to build a 160,000-tonne (or bigger) incinerator in our area. This plan was recommended at the WoE Project Board meeting on 12 March, but will not be discussed by Bristol City Council's cabinet till June.

The WoE have already put in a bid for PFI credits - BEFORE the plans have been agreed by any of the WoE councils. They will put a business plan together for the incinerator in May - BEFORE there has been public consultation on the Joint Waste Core Strategy.
