Heather's vision for Wattle Downs 2030

Heather Powell — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:50:09 +0000

Wattle Downs – 20 years after the end of cheap oil after much great work by Transition Initiatives all over.

As I wake this new morning, I take time to be grateful for the time and space to stretch from toes to head, take a deep breath. I listen to the morning bird chorus then open my eyes. A gentle breeze moves leaves outside the window and wafts a delicious fragrance from the blossom and fruit in the orchard where a grass reserve once existed.

Organic/local food Co-op

Heather Powell — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 04:09:40 +0000

CO-OPERATIVE

This is a bulk goods initiative, to cut out the middle man! We buy organic produce mostly from 'CERES' but also from any other local suppiler.

The objectives are ORGANIC then LOCAL where possible.

If you'd like to become a part of the group please contact Summer; dakini@ihug.co.nz
