Hard Rain A-Gonna Fall - on campus

Source

Siobhan told me about a lecture happening at Aberdeen Uni.

The headlong collision between humans and nature will be brought to life in words, pictures and music as an international photographic exhibition and leading environmental speaker arrive on the University of Aberdeen campus this month.

Artist Mark Edwards, one of the few environmental communicators to have personally witnessed the global issues that are defining the 21^st century, will speak at 6pm on Tuesday 22 March in the Regent Building Lecture Theatre on the King’s College Campus.

It sounds really interesting. I plan on going, maybe I could get few moment with the speaker to ask his opinion on climate change and snow.

Cadbury's Advertising

This is a really interesting article about Fallon's approach to Cadbury's advertising - the famous gorilla that was seen all over our screens.

My favourite quote from the article is;

"Chocolate is about joy and pleasure. For years Cadbury has told us that it was generous, through the glass and a half strap line. We thought, don't tell us how generous you are; show us. Don't tell us about joy; show us joy."

Save our snow

This article is pretty much exactly what I want my guide to be like. It is friendly and informative without hassling or intruding the snow boarders right of choice.

My guide will obviously be different to this - I plan to explain climate change in a 'climate change for dummies' type way and then relate it to snow sports.

Street Art

I recently watched Banksy's Exit Through The Gift Shop which has made me a bit curious about street art. The following day I came across this street art by a ten year old who had also been influenced by the film. The innocence and un-insulting nature of this 'street art' is lovely.
