After all the horror of what’s happened in Southport, it’s been a real privilege to work with young people (and their grown-ups) in @SeftonLibraries over the last 2 days exploring protest and the things that they are passionate about. There is hope for the future! #LoveSefton

Thanks to ⁦@SeftonLibraries⁩ ⁦@the_libraries⁩ for our visit and workshop on air pollution yesterday. We enjoyed using the air quality monitors and it made us aware of the local air pollution. Thank you for the opportunity. ⁦@StJosephCMAT⁩ #ecowarriors

We're thrilled to announce an exhibition at Crosby Library with artist Lou Chapelle, an interactive installation inviting viewers to place their hand in a shelter & hold a holographic butterfly. ⁠Drop in between 23rd & 30th Sept to meet the butterflies!⁠ @the_libraries
Out of a black void two hands reach forwards - hovering just above the hands is a blue/purple butterfly, which is translucent, like a hologram.

We’ve been meeting Minna from Compost Works to work out how to generate all our own compost. Healthy soil keeps carbon in the ground and not in the air. Love how amazing nature is at finding solutions ❤️❤️ thanks to @SFarms_Gardens and @grind #northparkcommunitygarden #compost
