Manchester Environmental Resource Centre Initiative

Manchester Environmental Resource Centre initiative (MERCi), is a Manchester-based environmental charity, so called because their first project was to establish an environmental centre at Bridge 5 Mill, in East Manchester.

MERCi promote social, environmental and economic sustainability for the city of Manchester. The Charity’s strapline is: "Ideas into Action for a Sustainable Future". According to their website, MERCI's aim is to work towards a future that is greener, safer, healthier and more equitable.

MERCi (pronounced 'murky') was established by a group of campaigners who were "frustrated by the lack of support, positive vision and available resources to make Manchester a more sustainable city".

    The [nineteenth-century] young men who were Puritans in politics were anti-Puritans in literature. They were willing to die for the independence of Poland or the Manchester Fenians; and they relaxed their tension by voluptuous reading in Swinburne.
    Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.
    Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

    In the centre of his cage
    The pacing animal
    Surveys the jungle cove
    And slicks his slithering wiles
    To turn the venereal awl
    In the livid wound of love.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging.
    John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
