How would you like to exhibit your Environmental photography?

How would you like to exhibit your photographs in an international platform of world-class documentary photography?

FotoDocument is a new arts and education, not-for-profit social enterprise, and it wants your photos for its Fringe Documentary Project. They’re creating an online gallery of photographs highlighting environmental projects from around the world. So if you have photographs showing green initiatives which you feel are inspiring and would like people to know about, send them up to three photographs and they’ll be considered for the FotoDocument’s on-line picture grid.

FotoDocument have already selected nine photographers from seven different countries to produce photo essays which show working solutions to the problems associated with climate change and environmental degradation. Your photos could stand alongside theirs and promote a local project you think is worth shouting about. Find out more by visiting the FotoDocument website.

Brighton Peace and Environment Centre will once again be running coaches direct from Brighton to the Festival. We’re teaming up with The Big Lemon who run their coaches on 100% locally sourced, recycled vegetable oil. It’s the greenest way to get to the festival by coach and it takes away the stress of driving, arriving and parking, so the festival can start in Brighton!

How sustainable is your favourite restaurant?

Sustainability is on the minds of a growing number of people but until recently the hotel and restaurant sector has not been renowned for its high levels of environmental awareness. Now, following the launch of a new sustainability information and vetting system for restaurants in March 2010, this perception is changing.

The Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA) is a not-for-profit organisation, which encourages restaurants to become as sustainable as possible and publicly recognises their achievements through bronze, silver or gold awards. Customers can then make more informed choices about where they eat out.
