I was there volunteering and felt the strong connection between people!<br />It is so important to pass this information on in todays society, as it seems that we are all blindly following the huge organisations and under leash of their control. It's good to wake up people through a positive medium, and this served it's purpose. Here's to many of more events such as the one held on the 16th December.<br />Nice blog you have here!<br />Just found it via doing a search of the event on Google.<br />Always good to hear different interpretations of the event from people. :) <br />(I have a record of the event at my own blog)Anahttp://expressiveworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12910213.post-76010223243454493552009-12-16T23:32:32.927+00:002009-12-16T23:32:32.927+00:00Thanks for interesting comments.

Of course it is difficult. I think there's scope for selling smaller/uglier fruit and veg. I think there should be much more widespread composting of food- and on a large scale you can compost stuff the home gardener can't hope to. The idea that we fly food in and then put it in landfill seems to me the very definition of decadence.
