Buying what you need isn’t always what you want. Are there more satisfying ways to live more locally? In Falkland village hall on Tuesday 11 November at 7:30, there will be a meeting to start finding ways to improve our local quality of life. Contributors will be residents from the village and locally, who can explain what they have already done, and what could be done. This will include local examples of using crafts, trying to re-learn skills and crafts from our recent or grandparents generations, or networks for borrowing not buying, considering consumption, sharing transport or hardest of all – walking around a bit. This is part of the Transition Falkland programme, which has already attracted tens of people to meetings on local energy, and food. Now with extra people becoming involved , there will be more happening in December – watch out ! All events are free.
