This event was a really good source of information, seeing what products are out there, what are the latest sustainable materials, learning about cities and how they form and one I particularly enjoyed was a talk by a rather animated woman who told us about how she started a homegrown vegetable and fruit patch that was open to the public for picking and how the community benifited in many different ways. First off they were recieving fresh organic food free, second this act of kindness in turn comes back as those who take the produce bring back jams or soups they made as a thank you gift and third, it brings the neigbours together socially which in turn makes for a safer neighbourhood as they watch out for each other.
