Economic Slowdown

take time to smell the roses

It seems fitting to be late letting you know that we are all in the midst of Slow Down Week, as stated by Adbusters Culturejammers.

The Canadian group, who’s anti-capitalist mag just walks off the shelves of newsagents and bookstores near you, told the PRSD: ‘Using a hybrid car for your two-hour commute to work, or eating organic food during your 20-minute lunch break isn’t enough.

‘In order to negotiate the ecological problems facing our planet, we need to slow down our way of life. The frenetic pace of the modern world is a hindrance to the kind of deep cultural change we need to ensure a healthy future. Slow Down Week is a great opportunity to take it easy and adopt a new perspective.’

Tip-top idea, which we at PRSD towers are already employing. Check out the film at the Adbusters Culturejammer HQ.

Oh, and the picture is of Rainbow Roses from last year’s Metro.
