Vivienne Westwood is a woman who was the queen of the Punk generation has now become the Dame of climate revolution. Using her fame to advocate her strong beliefs on sustainability, she was interviewed by Kirsty Wark at the Cheltenham Literature Festival about her new book ‘Get a Life’.
At Madia and Matilda we are all about sustainability so had grab a few seats when we heard about her arrival in Cheltenham. Listening to Vivienne Westwood’s passion on the topic was incredibly refreshing and to hear the words ‘green’ and ‘recycling’ in such a throw away industry motivated us to continue sharing the love for our planet. The main focus of the talk was centred around this map below.
She stressed that when the world reaches +5 degrees if you
were you draw a line under Paris everything below it would be uninhabitable. Most
importantly, when it reaches +2 degrees, it is unstoppable and
that we must lobby the politicians to push for a greener environment and
economy.
Unfortunately, no photography was allowed during the event
but here are a few snaps from the Waterstones book tent and around the festival
site!
