Aston Hayes is a tiny village in Cheshire which is setting out to be the first Carbon Neutral Village in Britain. There are a dedicated band of adults taking steps to make the village far more green and the rest of the community is coming on board. It was felt that now is great time to get the young people of the village involved more. So Letters from The Future was born as a way of getting people talking and recording their ideas about climate change. Letters from the future is an idea developed by myself( Artist,Beth Barlow) in a previous reincarnation working with a group of teenagers. The individuals involved are asked to write letters from their great great grandchildren back to themselves. They aim to anticipate what might happen with regards to things like climate, technology, food and community. Read more on this blog to find out how the project progresses.
