hey all i took this pledge, but it's easy for me as i barely get any time to dedicate to art as it is, the idea that i would have the time and money to fly somewhere to see it is almost absurd. for some of you guys it looks more challenging, and it really the challenged that should be taking this pledge. for me it's like saying 'i pledge to carry on pretty much as i already am doing'.
if you really need to fly to the art, because you live in rochdale or reykvavik or whatever and the local scene is a bit flat, perhaps you should be putting energy into revitalising that local scene, rather than spend time surfing for cheap flights to new york. r. 2009/4/16 Tim Cowlishaw <t...@timcowlishaw.co.uk> > > On 16 Apr 2009, at 10:10, helen varley jamieson wrote: > > > yes turning off lights & appliances, & not overheating buildings, is > > just as (maybe more?) important as reducing flights & driving. i don't > > have the stats but i understand that even turning off things like > > computers & stereos at the wall can make a difference. > > I think the point is though, that it's not an either / or.
