I was interested in a talk given by Judith Williamson, on visual culture and How to effect change / make change?
She talked about global warming and how we live our lives in a culture of denial. Her lecture highlighted the skewed relationship between what we know and what we do, examining how the gulf between knowledge and behaviour shapes contemporary culture.

So I am trying to get the children to open their eyes to the present, and look at their own time through the eyes of the future.
To project their lives 50 years into the future, what will the world look like?
