• Landlords welcome ‘positive squatting’ | Society | The Guardian – Positive occupation. Squatters often evoke a negative image, but more and more empty properties are being taken over and brought back into use for the community – and some landlords are welcoming them. Diane Taylor reports
• desk space – Rent your own desk space in a cool, bright top floor re–furbished leather factory in zone 1. The open plan space occupies the entire top floor of a 3 storey ex–warehouse.

• WeEarth – uniting the worlds of activism and art – WeEarth is a network of resources enabling us to explore our connectedness with each other and with our changing world. * We aim to inspire our community to connect, learn, and grow. * We encourage socially and environmentally responsible living. We believe that a new kind of consciousness is taking root – a consciousness that we are all connected and that no matter where we come from on the planet, the things that connect us eclipse the things that divide us. We believe that, together, we are all becoming WeEarth. It’s not so much a specific philosophy as it is a general orientation toward the world that centers around humanity and the way we interact with our environment. This does not mean that we have to see things the same way. In fact, it is our expectation that over time an infinitely wide variety of voices will find their home here. The operative word here is ‘connected.’ Let’s do this together.
