In November 2010 the residents of St Peters, Sydney, were alerted to the fact that the NSW government had granted an exploration licence to drill for Coal Seam Gas (CSG) close to homes and schools in St Peters.
Come watch a free edited screening of the arard winning GASLAND (2009) to witness the long term health implications to people, animals and the environment.
Jacinta Green from the St. Peters action group will explain how this exploration process is going to impact the residents of Sydney.
September 3rd- Food Matters
Adam Taylor, Coordinator of Alfalfa House Community Food CO-OP in Enmore will be discussing a range of issues including
factory farming vs. local and organic growers, GMO crops, product packaging and the plastic islands floating in the oceans.
Adam has been active in food justice around the world, and is really excited to discuss the idea that we do have options.
Adam will be taking a solutions based approach to these issues so bring a notebook and pen!
September 10th- Bookbinding
Sign up for some seriously creative reuse with Joanna. We'll be binding scrap books, notebooks, albums and more from reuse stationary and other salvaged materials in The Bower.
September 17th- Candlemaking
Our lovely co-op brothers and sisters from Alfalfa House in Enmore has kindly donated some beautiful home grown bees wax for this
candle making workshop! In this session we will show you how to use unused bric-a-brac, glass jars and bottles and everyday packaging to create beautiful centrepeices, gifts and mood lighting options. Come along to this wonderful demonstration and take home some beautiful
candles.
September 24th- Uphoslstery
Suppliers, materials, techniques - anything stopping you from doing your own reuse upholstery? Stop by for an upholstery demonstration in the Eco-library and ask any questions you might have. sadly space is limited so this isn't a byo project workshop - we're hoping to fit another one of those in later in the year.
Don't forget to RSVP to score priority seating/participation etc! Call up, call in, sign up on facebook.
