Elaine, Sam and I headed across to Hammersmith this morning to check through SustainAbility’s storeroom in a repository that used to be a Ford factory. Weird going through crate after crate of files, papers, reports and books dating back up to 22 years.
Will drive in and collect the stuff in a few days, including about 15 framed posters from environmental campaigns from around the world. I had picked them up as I travelled, including two giant Body Shop posters given to me by Anita Roddick. They occupied pride of place in SustainAbility offices in Ladbroke Grove, Kensington High Street and Knightsbridge – overlooking Hyde Park. By the time we reached Bedford Row, Holborn, the aesthetic had begun to change.
Despite reclaiming a fair few cratefuls, we will still have to send quite a lot of potentially interesting stuff to landfill. Which has me thinking that we really need to put together some form of museum of environmentalism, green politics, sustainability, cleantech and so on – an idea that has been bubbling in my brain for a couple of decades, but there’s beginning to be a sense of now or never.
