I’ve been part of the Surrey olive oil network for some time. Last Fairtrade Fortnight we had Taysir Arabesi who works with Zaytoun in Palestine come to do a talk and there is now a short film available by another supporter group which has him speaking and shows just what a difference buying this olicve oil makes. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=q6gkxZa1vKI.

Don't just recycle, Freecycle - 18 Mar 2009
We have just done a building project and it’s shocking to realise how all the builders and traders on site have never heard of freecycle. They just assume everything old goes in the skip but we kept making sure that stuff was offered on freecycle first. It’s been brilliant. Roof tiles went to a charity model railway. Kitchen units went to someone giving their elderly mothers’ kitchen a make-over etc etc. I heartily recommend anyone who is doing work to think about posting as much as they can on freecycle so your own new project benefits others and doesn’t just fill landfill.

The 4 of us (Mum, Dad and 2 children) live in a special place on the edge of some heathland (part of ‘Surrey’s Last Wilderness) but within striking of lots of amenities. Since moving here we have become much more aware of the natural world around us. We were committed fairtrade camapigners before but increasingly fair trade, poverty, the environment are all getting joined up in our thinking and we are trying more consciously to live generously.
