Ed Gillespie of Futerra asks “can art change the climate of opinion on climate change?”

“My hope is that art, culture and those ‘happy accidents’, in conjunction with the appropriate information, can engage the public emotionally as a precursor to action,” writes Ed Gillespie of Futerra Sustainablity Communications in his article “Melting Into The Mind” in Green Futures. “ Looking at ecologically minded art, in particular Cape Farewell, Gillespie says “The impetus for change is, after all, manifold – robust science, market forces and art are all part of the same matrix.”

Ed will be speaking during Saturday’s session I panel discussion: Creating a Sustainable Future.
