crochet anyone?

At this Sunday’s 5pm project, we will be learning to (or teaching) crochet or knit dishcloths, so that we can all make a few to sell at Ecofest, to raise money for green projects we have planned for the church.  They will be made from cotton, which is biodegradeable, you can even bury them in your backyard when they have worn out.  I’ve had some for a few years, and they’re still going strong  I use them once or twice, then wash and dry and they’re ready to go again.  So come along and learn or teach a new skill.

The 5pm project takes place on the second & fourth sunday of the month at Western Heights Uniting Church, 31 Douglass St, Herne Hill – at 5pm!

practical tips for going green

sometimes it’s hard to get started on being a bit greener.

it seems like you have to make drastic changes to the way you live – invest money in water tanks, green-cars, solar panels etc. And all those things are great, although they might be a bit trickier to achieve than smaller more gradual changes.

we hope that our ecofest is more the everyday kind of stuff – practical and simple ideas for how you might make small changes that make a difference to the way you live and the way you think about the world.
