Hello all,

1) if you’re looking for a one minute video that explains why endless economic growth isn’t possible, let alone a good idea, then your desperate search is over – check out the new post over at steadystatemanchester.net.

2) last Wednesday there was a rather interesting and invigorating meeting of the Economy Scrutiny Committee .*  Sooner or later – possibly later – the Council will be sending out a press release. Won’t it?

3) From tonight to Saturday 30th June  there is a performance piece at the Royal Exchange Theatre.  It’s “Everything We Need,” and it’s all about climate change, mythologies and other heart-and-brain expanding things.  Here’s MCFly’s interview with Ben Mellor, the performance artist, in case you missed it first time round.  A review of the opening night will appear on this site tonight.

* Yes, we are aware that is a unique sentence in the English language. And we are acutely aware that we should get out more.
