With nef policy director, Andrew Simms, Jayati Ghosh of Nehru University, Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self Reliance, artist Clare Patey and many more.

Beginning with the terrible freedom before dusk, we'll be telling tales of how it could turn out. Scattered here and there, the seeds of a new economy are taking root. Farmers markets, rooftop solar cells, community banks and local shops are multiplying and new currencies emerging.

The Ministry of Trying to do Something About It will issue personal ration books exploring value, justice and rationing over a nice cup of tea. Join us. Talk to a Scientist, make homes for bees, stop clone towns, start living, share stories, be wild, grow food in the city, get activist, sow seeds, Connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, give. Get the bigger picture.
