Gardening for Free

A session looking at how to make your community gardening project (or your own back garden) more sustainable by recycling materials and using your social capital to get things done for cheap or free.

We’ll be sharing hints and tips on how thrifty gardeners reduce their costs, and build community at the same time.

With Miriam Turley from the Federation of City Farms and Community Gardens

What is Money?

The supply of money has increased by 70 fold in the last 40 years. Yet the global population has 'only' increased 2 fold. So why aren't we all stinking rich?
Money is manmade. It does not grow on trees, as we are always told. So where does it come from? Who controls its creation & distribution? Why is it always scarce? How come governments created money to bail out the banks, yet have to borrow money to fund services?
If you have asked these questions and want to know how the money system can be changed to serve humanity instead of enslave it, then this is the event for you.
