Scottish Rural Network Event No comments yet

The Scotland National Rural Network are holding a network event in Carberry Tower, Musselburgh in May, bringing together all sorts of organisations from what they call Tyne & Esk.  Might be really interesting.  Details are still to be confirmed, but you can look at the archive of events in other areas to get a taste.

Kitchen Canny No comments yet

Kitchen Canny is a great new project from Changeworks, all about how households can reduce their food waste.  The Action Kit takes you through 4 weeks, looking at how much you throw away now, working out ways to reduce it, then measuring what you’ve achieved. You even get a lovely tea towel for sending back your results!!

To take part, all you have to do is to pick up a pack from Haddington Library!

Kitchen Canny will also be at the Good Food Year event on the 13th March.

Fairtrade Fortnight is all about swapping the things you normally buy for fairtrade versions.  The focus this year is tea.  Look out for the fairtrade logo on fruit, tea, coffe, chocolate……all sorts!  They are everywhere, even Tesco’s!  The Coop is good for lots of things even fairtrade wine.  Also, Oxfam, Whole Earth……..any other suggestions?
