Earliest history of AAEV

Hi everyone - I just found this funny old historical summary document that I received from Richard Askew in 2001. Current Villagers might like to read it for the interesting perspective.

Ever heard of "Peak Phosphorus"?

Peak Oil and Peak Water (the point in time when public need begins to exceed supply and continues to diverge causing critical shortage) are familiar concepts - but "Peak Phosphorus" is unheard of. Nonetheless phosphorus is critical to our survival and mine-able quantities are looking scarcer.

'Rubbish Art'

Hi everyone,
 
A friend here in the UK told me about this local Suffolk art work, which I plan to see at its next venue. Here is the web address: www.flyintheface.com/46000.html. I thought it might interest people.
