Chris Goodall, our speaker on 27th February, has been talking with Keri Jones on This is Alfred. Read the interview here http://thisisalfred.com/events/fashion-fast-food-and-flying-to-feature-in-climate-emergency-authors-shaftesbury-talk/ You'll see it promises to be an interesting session - and worth reserving a place through Eventbrite as the town hall could be fully booked!

XR has just published a strategy for 2020. It may be of interest whether you're concentrating on what can be done locally in response to the climate and ecological emergencies, or have also acted alongside other XR rebels to influence policy around climate change.

Planet Shaftesbury is becoming better known in the area and that's opening new opportunities. Already this year we've been able to satisfy two requests from a local school - first to connect with a person with experience of bee-keeping, and then for a speaker to introduce a sustainable fashion show. There are additional opportunities for becoming involved in student projects - see examples of what's recently completed or currently happening at Shaftesbury School here https://educationalhipsters.com/2019/05/30/steam-planned-projects-2019-2020/ IMight you like to work alongside students (no need for DBS checks as staff would be present)? Or are you willing to share experiences by talking to a group? Help Planet Shaftesbury to reach out! If interested in any way, please email planetshaftesbury@gmail.com with details of what you'd like to offer. NOTE : This is all additional to forthcoming radio opportunities see http://thisisalfred.com/want-to-join-the-thisisalfred-community-radio-team/
