The rage inside me
can make enemies of those
who might be my friends

* political rage is a primeval thing that can cloud better judgement, but Sunak and those he represents really get my goat, when it comes to climate change and green policies.
One of my favourite Bristol artists is Pelmo. His work is usually well thought out and is about so much more than the artwork, often there are messages of love, affection and care with the relationships between characters. In this unusual piece, there are no characters, but a very strong climate message.
Having worked in environmental communications for twenty years, some of it on climate change, I have seen many images like this one, and they are not uncommon. What is different here is that it is not a corporate ‘explainer’ but a heartfelt warning. Pelmo has captured the jeopardy of failing to act in a gentle, but effective way. I could look at this piece for a long time, it chimes for me and has a serene quality to it. Great work from Pelmo.

Governments tell us
we need time to make changes
‘people aren’t ready’
meanwhile we see Rome burning
I sense a revolution

Greta in Bristol
by Scooj
On the news that Greta Thunberg will be visiting Bristol this Friday for her school climate strike. I have given both of my children permission to protest if they wish to add their voices to the campaign. I am rather excited and will be taking an extended lunch break to protest myself.
