Compost Conversations: Sustainable Chippendale on streetside composting in Sydney
Description
LOCCAL is launching Compost Conversations, a monthly online gathering for people who love, practise and care about composting at the local level. Each 45-minute session might feature a guest speaker, a discussion topic, LOCCAL updates, working group projects, a member spotlight, or whatever interests community composters. Open to all LOCCAL members and the general public, free to attend or pay what you can, online.
For our first session, we're joined by Friends of Chippendale, whose long-standing Sustainable Chippendale Footpath Gardens and compost project has run for 18 years and is now under threat from the City of Sydney's draft Community Greening Framework, which would exclude composting from verge gardening. Hear the story from the people living it, and find out exactly how to support them before submissions close on 3 November. Find out more about the issue here: Help protect street-side composting in Sydney – LOCCAL
Details: Monday 2 November, 8.15-9.00pm AEDT, online. Free or pay what you can. Register here and the joining link will be sent to you. Everyone welcome. If you care about community composting, this is the conversation to be part of!
