I am staying in Kensal Rise, London whilst working with our partners - the fabulous Lexi Cinema. The Lexi is a 100% social enterprise, community cinema that supports all of the projects that I work on at the Sustainability Institute. They are also a crazy and creative bunch with a passion for film and a love for community. They have been incredibly welcoming and it has been a treat to hang out this past week. I also got the chance to explore some of the area where some very cool local initiatives are underway.
Above is Minkies Deli & Restuarant which is also one of the sites of some guerilla marketing by a cool local cinema...
Minkies is a lovely side street cafe that Sally introduced me to. They have a treasure trove of local and organic produce.
A confession: I have tried everything to kick my addiction to Coca Cola, from reading the nutritional information on the cans to researching their horrific track record with staff treatment and associated environmental impacts of their operations internationally. Im not sure how much better this product above is, but it does say Whole Earth and organic, it tastes better than Coke and leaves me buzzing like a bee. No addiction is a good addiction, but this sure tastes damn fine!
Lots of food for thought...
A great idea to bottle fresh organic soups, for eating in or taking out.
An old cabinet makes a great display shelf.
And fresh oranges for juicing.
On the street where I am staying!
Tessa Anna runs a quirky nursery just across from the Lexi, which offers everything from fresh herbs in recycled containers to free gardening advice.
Watch this space for some pictures of the Lexi and Green Sunday coming up...
