Hey Emi,

Thanks for hosting the blitz yesterday it was great meeting you guys! Two things, first I think I may have left my Fruit of the Loom sweatshirt at your house? If it there I’ll come and pick it up when I’m in the neibourhood. Second, I’m interested in growing those shoots. Would you mind explaining the process? Where u get the seed, when u harvest ect. Thanks again.

Cheers, Curtis

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.
