Peter and I were unable to register.  We waited too long and the workshop is full, good for them.

Thanks for the info! I will definitely check that out and/or I'd love to get in contact with people about it :). I was going to come to the pot luck tonight but alas, I can't make it. :( I look forward to the day when I can though!

Hey Jocelyn,

I see you might come to the Kits Village potluck tomorrow. If so, maybe we can talk about it then. Have I sent you the address?

Hi Jocelyn,

There's a few places you can try on the website. You can join Zero Waste and post your queries there. You can also post a blog (or post to a forum). And we have an Answers page (it's the 1st sub-tab under Resources), though it seems to be a bit of a secret, and hasn't used much lately.

Village is people driven - perhaps we can chat at some point and figure out a good way for you to share some of your knowledge with other members.

Cheers,

Ross

VV convenor

This is great - I'm so happy to see that stuff like this is going on! :) If I'm already producing zero waste but have questions about obscure items ...is there a forum for this? (I'm not 100% I can attend the session - and I'm also not sure if I should even since I'm already on the zero-waste train - though I'm always happy to share best practices and learn what others are doing! :) )
