Blind Spot

Blind Spot is a documentary film that illustrates the current oil and energy crisis that our world is facing. Whatever measures of ignorance, greed, wishful thinking, we have put ourselves at a crossroad, which offers two paths with dire consequences. If we continue to burn fossil fuels we will choke the life out of the planet and if we don't our way of life will collapse.

Would you like to take part in "Penparcau is Green"?

The festival will take place on Saturday, the 20th of March, in the Llwyn Yr Eos school.

There will be free food, and another chance to see "Age of Stupid", also for free. We want to have activities that appeal to children, and things with a leisure feel. We'd like to attract people, by offering fun, so if you have any skills that are "eco friendly", that are fun to learn, especially if they appeal to children, please send an email to Carys: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
