I had a fantastic day out in the Sheffield Free Bus today.

"...Some people believe in asking large coporations for cheap services so that there is less profit made. Whilst we understand that this is a desirable goal we go one step further to ask for a cooperative way of living, where no profit is produced. Although there are potential alternatives to using buses such as cycling. realistically people need effective public transport that is environmentally friendly and better than running individual cars. Corporations are exploiting our needs"

With the success of Burngreave Community Area Network, we need to start building on it and putting some content in through the pipes..

Next steps ?

1. plug residents who are interested working with Community Organisations directly into the CAN ?

2. get timebank software going ? Use it to coordinate volunteer activity ?

3. find ways of 'can' abling every community group in Burngreave ?

May 2nd 2004, went to the Burngreave Evironment and Fun day It was really good. Music, stuff for all ages, people making green houses out of waste plastic water bottles. Information on recycling and composting, and great music.

Spent a May 3 in the Earth Centre Conisbourgh .. Its a pleasant enough day out, but full of contradictions.

For a site dedicated to sustainable development it seems to have a lack of discussion on alternative economics, organic gardening, permaculture. The retail side of it seems to sell the usual junk food that you can by at Mcdonalds than anything more positive like New roots
