The Harvest

I have been picking a lot of different types of beans dwarf green beans, purple dwarf beans, runner beans and dwarf beans. They have been great to add to stir fries and curries. I am currently growing some petit pous as my peas I harvest in July. My aubergines, chillies and peppers are doing well and I some Gouds growing currently. Also trying to grow lettuce leafs in fabric pots.

Plenty of runner beans, aubergines, rainbow chard , tomatoes and chillies.

My witness statement by David Attenbourgh

David Attenborough has been an inspiration for the human race for many decades. His illuminating natural  history programmes have been inspirational. This particular programme. Lays out in layman’s terms how pollution, deforestation, and human population increases is effecting our planets bio diversity and in turn extinction is occurring for  many of our beautiful plants and animals for good. 

My recent MA degree has outlined all that David Attenbourgh is explaining in his new series. It is my intention to continue my studying with a PHD with the subject area of Design.

I am wishing to continue my research into new sustainable design processes in order to create a more sustainable arena for product designs and in turn lifestyle choices. The reason for my research is to help the planet rebuild and sustain as much natural landscapes and wildlife as possible.

Creating eco conscious natural, inks and dyes has been part of my research previously, however I would also like to look at developing bio degradable plastic or resins to build on up cycling and reusing products and materials .to reduce the amount of waste and  drawing down effect of oxygen in our atmosphere. Pollution replaces oxygen with chemicals including carbon monoxide which is increasing climate temperatures creating devastating effects on our planet decreasing our natural world by unimaginable levels.

I believe this is the future of designing manufacturing and life style choices to save our planets future.
