Building a better world . . .
For some time now, there has been an activist group protesting a third runway at Heathrow in London, one of the world’s largest airports. The group, Plane Stupid, decided a year ago to help create a Transition Initiative in Sipson, a community that was threatened by the runway. So they found an abandoned piece of land, full of trash and broken glass, and transformed it into gardens, workshops, kitchens and a meeting place to launch projects for the whole community. It was met with some skepticism at first but now . . . well, watch the video below and see for yourself. By the way, the local policeman says crime is down 50% since the initiative was set up.
