sustainable living- exploring trade and globalisation issues

The World Trade Organisation (WTO)meeting is taking place in Cancún, Mexico, from Tuesday 9th to Sunday 14th September

SEPT 13TH is INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST WTO

At “sustainable living” in denmark and after, there was much debate as to where globalisation and trade issues come into the “architecture and sustainability” debate.
This saturday will be a chance for you to find out more, test your ideas, get involved. Things will be going on in your area- look around your streets for posters

”Another World Is Possible: We have before us a choice–the world of
militarism and corporate globalization, or a world built on global
solidarity, rooted in a foundation of democracy, dignity, sustainability,
and cooperation. This fall we have an opportunity to bring our vision to
life, through a series of actions and campaigns that will build toward a
better world.”

was an earlier piece posted to this EASA site “make trade fair- a call on all EASA community to get involved” posted by myself when working with IMC-oxford before EASA003, it was removed by the webmaster as the view then was that “trade and gloabalisation has nothing to do with architecture”
does it?
