The need to grow your veg in order to do our bit for climate change seems to become more popular since lock down. More people are connecting to their environment and taking up gardening.
This year I have returned to my allotment which needed quite a lot of weeding and maintenance.
The before picture of my allotment.
The after picture, most of the work down, just a bit more strimming and weeding, then planting new veg.
First thing to do is dig up my main crop bed.
Planting out potatoes crops, two varieties planted across three rows. Still found some crops before digging.
Leaks, Chinese lettuce and kale lived through the winter months.
However the shed didn’t make it.It will need rebuilding and one other shed will need to be repaired and one will have to come down.
Plenty of strimming to catch up with and plenty of weeding. Strawberry batch needs a good weeding, plenty of gardening to do.
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.
