New Food Co-operative....

We have discussed starting a Food Cooperative for buying local and organic produce and would like you to help by telling us whether you would be interested in setting up this group.

Please tell us if you might become one of the producers, would be a consumer or if you could be a volunteer helper.  Do let us know if you have any other helpful ideas or suggestions.  Many thanks.

Leisure, Holidays and Social Activity

Your happiness and enjoyment of life does not have to be dependent on consumption.
Reduce, reuse, repair, recycle – in that order.  Reduce what you use, reuse what you use, repair what you use, recycle what you use.

Throw away your throwaway lifestyle!  Buy durable items.  If it lasts longer, it will minimise waste.  Buy good quality goods – even if it costs a little more.

Reject consumption as leisure - find ways to enjoy yourself that aren’t based on excessive consumption. Sports, skills, learning and communal activities are all good options.

Learn to slow down -  we try to fit so much in to our lives.  It stresses us.  Learn to slow down and do things at a more leisurely pace.

Turn off your electricity - why not turn off your electricity off once a month and see how it feels. Can you get by for a day without electricity? Try it.

Holiday in the UK or travel efficiently (by boat or bike).  Holidays are an important form of leisure but a relatively recent luxury.  Begin enjoying holidays closer to home.

Start a hobby that benefits both you and the environment such as gardening - get fit while you grow your own food.

Make new friends while doing something really worthwhile by joining your local Transition group.
