Festival of trees

tree of possibility big

2009
The Tree of possibility
Our tree is a message about the choice we have to make in the face of Climate Change. We can continue to live Carbon dependent lifestyles, worsening the problem day by day... or we can take action, like joining the 10:10 campaign. 10:10 is calling on individuals, community groups, businesses and governments to sign up reducing their CO2 emmissions by 10% in 2010. www.1010uk.org
The display features a moving poem Lost Generation by Jonathan Reed.

Wish upon a star.
Our aluminium framed tree was filled with stars made by schools and community groups. Each star contained a wish for the world at Christmas.

2007
Our second entry into the Festival of trees was an ethical shopping tree.
We filled our Ethical shopping basket from our shop to make a difference campaign with gifts whose labels gave facts and statistics about our shopping habits, and about the people who produce the products we buy. Distributed liberally between the presents were gift aid catelogues from charitys including Oxfam, Christian Aid and Send a cow.

2004
The Manx Co-op and the One World Centre, working in partnership, won runner up in the travellers choice award in the 2005 Save the Children festival of trees competition!
Entitled Hope we depicted a symbolic branch, bursting into blossom hung with images of people from around the world. We wanted to share the dream of millions of people in this world for an end to exploitation, progress without pollution, equal opportunities, a world without poverty, inequality or injustice.14 local companies entered trees in this years competition staged at Ronaldsway airport. Around 800 votes were cast by visitors to the airport in December. The event raised over £8000 for Save the Children... the response indicated to us how many people really do support us in our aim to raise awareness for justice in our world!
