[32] Green Gathering: making change takes a village...

Today we're talking all about how creating change requires community action. Cllr Shane Collins is one of the directors of The Green Gathering - a community interest company and the only festival in the UK powered by renewable energy. Shane is also a long time green activist, district councillor and leader of the Green Party group on Mendip DC. Today we discuss how we can do more as consumers, citizens and activists to bring about positive change within the current political system. Today's episode is brought to you by Green Gathering - a festival ‘beyond hedonism’ powered by wind, sun and people. Four days of low impact living in an area of outstanding beauty... every nook and corner bursting with music, comedy, creativity, campaigns and natural abundance. Intimate solar stages showcase up-and-coming acts, legendary festival favourites, DJs, poets, activist comedians and spellbinding raconteurs. Share wisdom and skills; find friends old and new; weave, weld and tell stories. Have a party... then wake up and put the world to rights! Take the festival spirit home with you. 1st-4th August 2019 in wooded splendour on the Welsh border just 18 miles from Bristol. Be inspired. Make change.
