World Environment Day

5th June is World Environment Day. This year the theme of this
official UN
Day is Deserts and desertification - see
http://www.unep.org/wed/2006/english/.

Some time today (or this week), why not take part in World Environment Day
by
recording a short audio item for Refugee Week Radio!

It can be a scripted talk, an improvised drama, vox pops, an interview, a
diary - the choice is yours. It can be on any environment topic - there are
some suggestions below to get you started. Send your audio to us (details
below) and we will broadcast the best on Refugee Week Radio - broadcasting
online from 19th to 25th June.

~ A Bucket of Water ~
(how many litres of drinking quality water go down the sewers on your behalf
every day? today try filling a bucket of water with a scoop then using it
for everything you need.....)

~ 'Perfection Creep' is Killing the Planet ~
(remember the days when we Tippexed out a mistake in a document instead of
printing out the whole thing again? what else have you got accustomed to in
the way of perfect living? in what ways are you using resources which
someone else probably has to do without?)

~ Fridge miles and foods in season ~
(how far have the contents of your fridge travelled? do we need an exotic
range of ingredients to make us proper people? what happened to the idea of
eating things when they are in season?)

~ Walk and carry ~
(for one day go everywhere on foot and carry everything yourself - how does
doing so alter the way you spend your day?)

Details for sending:
Send a copy* of your audio on data CD (WAV or MP3 format) to Refugee Week
Radio, 60E Honor Oak Road, Forest Hill, London SE23 3RZ to arrive no later
than Thursday 15th June. Please include your name, address, contact phone
number, email address (if applicable), plus an introduction as to when and
where the audio was recorded.
*Please don't send originals as we will not be able to return items.

We look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes
