Liberating Meadowhall

Visual Pollution

We've managed to capture a picture of the infamous banner-drop from Meadowhall and successfully smuggled out the film!! There is also an example of the pre-event subvertising from the city-centre and in the spirit of the even the pics are completely FREE!!

Good effort but next time could you make the pics a bit smaller. They take ages to download on dialup and I can't see the whole thing on 1024x768 monitor - a fairly common size, many people are still using 800x600.

Keep the good work.

have you stopped for a moment? now i disagree with shopping (see 19896.lowtech.org) however at what cost to the earth did the banner cost? what cost to the earth the use of paper? what cost to the earth the use of power to get your message here?

at the end who are listening to your message? are we not simply just preaching to each other? there must be a better way forword to the demise of civilisation.. something more than just the stale old protest? yes we are all capitalism, does this mean mass suicide or is there a way we can make indymedia work than just the inner cirlce of clowns (but i aint laughing just banging me head in despair..) who are the environmentalist movement? the same inner circle of clowns who are whatever the protest might be for that moment ie no shop day?

me, i think mass protest has had its day likewise collective actions.. now is the time for the re-birth of the alf / elf..

Preaching to the converted?

I don't like to be argumentative, but...

The 'Shop Less Live More' banner was skipped from behind a Safeway's and it was kept afterwards (at impressive inconvenience) so it wouldn't be thrown away again. The adverts were modified using lining paper which again, had been thrown out.

'at the end who are listening to your message? are we not simply just preaching to each other? '
I think there is definitely a case that says Buy Nothing Day is very much preaching to the choir, but we did acknowledge this and try to overcome it. I don't think modified adverts in the main shopping areas of Sheffield count as this, as we'd hoped people would appreciate, in that these are the areas populated solely by chain stores (as well as Meadowhall, of course).

In my opinion, there is always room for mass action, especially in places like Meadowhall. Do continue.
