[strawbale] straw-bale at the European Commission, Brussels
Title: straw-bale at the European Commission,
Brussels
GEN-Europe at the
Green Week, 15-19.04.02
The Global
Ecovillage Network - GEN - Europe will take part in the Green
Week, an event organised by the European Commission Directorate of
Environment. The general theme of
Green Week 2002 is Our future, Our Choice - Changing our
ways.
During the event
GEN-Europe, in association with Mr. Harald Wedig, natural builder and
permaculture teacher, will build a straw-bale house in the heart of
Brussels, beside the European Parliament and the EC.
With this action we
hope to facilitate better support for ecovillages and natural building
methods among the EC politicians and participants in the event,
encourage experiments in this field and demonstrate that natural
building can be inexpensive and fun to do.
At the same time
GEN-Europe will place ecologically responsible building techniques
within the context of ecovillages and sustainable
communities.
On Thursday the 18th
of April at 18.30 hrs the straw bale house will be officially
inaugurated by Mr. Perera from the EC Environment. In addition,
cocktails will be served and there will be an opportunity to chat
informally with the EC officials.
You are welcome
to join us!!
Place: Parc du
Maelbeek, beside the Charlemagne Building, Rue de la Loi
170
The demo-house will
be dismantled on the 20-21 of April and put up at another location in
Belgium for permanent use.
With regards
Ms. Agnieszka Komoch
President of GEN-Europe
