The inspiring First Nation activist, Crystal Lameman, gives a talk on the destructive impact of tar sands.
Myself and another few delegates pay a visit to the secret garden and Leeds Community Project at 6 Grosvenor Mount.
We scurry back in time for tasty food courtesy of The Real JunkFood Project, a student led project funded by the Leeds Green Exchange!
Sex sells! An interesting workshop from Sara Parkin on the impact of population growth on our climate, and why we should be talking about population more critically.
After the conference’s final keynote, I’m lucky enough to nab one of the last copies of ‘A Line in the Tar Sands’, a chapter of which was written by Crystal! She was even kind enough to sign it with an inspiring message.
“Even though there are a lot of muslim students and staff in Bristol Dental School, there is no designated prayer room in the building. I pray in the girl’s locker room in the basement of the building.
The location is convenient, but it can get over-crowded in the room, which makes it impossible for me to pray anywhere in the Dental School; even though all dental students spend most days from 8am-5pm in that building, with barely any time for lunch.”
“This picture is of one event we held and I strongly suggest people to be proactive in booking rooms”
“Our usual Friday prayer booking was cancelled last minute by the Union so the only other place we could pray was directly outside the students’ union.”
“We have a multi-faith facility for prayers. However, its overcrowded and inconvenient to run all the way there in a 10min break, so we pray in the first aid room (when its not in use).”
