Calling all Wairarapians interested in Sustainability

This blog has changed focus! We know there are lots of folks in the Wai interested in sustainability (over 45 people came from out of the blue to our Cob workshop last year, amazing!) and we want to create a fun and interactive place online where people can connect with one another and get together to make things happen. We know there is already lots of cool stuff going on....and we want to tell people about it! So please, get in touch or post if you share our passion for this work.

Sam & I are currently in China where Sam is participating in a sculpture symposium with Masterton's sister city Changchun, visit his China Blog
for more pics & info. After that we head to London to work for a few months ....and we have a list of cool eco-related projects and sights to visit there before our return home. We hope to pick up some cool ideas and contacts to put into practice when we get back.

Thats all for now. Contact me (Janine) if you are keen to be more involved with this blog in some way, shape or form.The cob pizza oven Sam and I built (with the help of friends & family) at Bull Gully, our family land near Castlepoint.

Janine - great idea - would be good to communicate with other like minded people - going to think some more about what content to send to you - but definitely some stuff about the awesome stuff some schools are doing !! Great to read Sam's blog too. Gill Stewart

Hi Gill - thanks for the post its great to get feedback! I checked out your blog...you and Andrew look very familiar I think I met you both at the Makoura Stream community meeting before we left NZ. Lovely pics of your home and family, would love to check out your eco-house sometime in the future. It would be great to post some retrospective pic's of your self-build if you have any...inspiring for those folks like us thinking of similar projects.
If you are interested in posting directly to the blog flick me your email address and I will make you an author. janineogg@clear.net.nz

Love to hear what the schools are up to!
