DANCE & FEEL SUBLIME
American Tribal Style Bellydance is an empowering dance form as it welcomes people from all walks of life to learn a catalogue of moves and combine them in improvised performances. You can choose to lead or not and in this way, is a democratic and open style.
YOU TOO, CAN BE A SUSTAINABLE FARMER
Want to see a super fun way to become a sustainable farmer using old sacks? Then check out this thought provoking talk by environmentalist Pepe. Discover how we can collectively reduce our environmental impact, eat delicious organic food grown on our doorsteps in the city, and re-establish our lost connection with that which nourishes us; the land.

Joseph Millman, affectionately known as Pepe to most, is a well-travelled environmentalist. He is the spokesperson for Tishange Mbewu (Let’s plant seeds), an organic urban agriculture project developed in Bauleni, Lusaka, a high-density, low-income compound. The organization trains unemployed women to grow organic food in sack gardens, with the aim of improving nutrition and food security, while also encouraging these poor urban populations to remain connected with the land. Tishange Mbewu is the result of Pepe’s desire to live as sustainably as possible and inspire people to do the same. Pepe applies the knowledge he gained in South and North America, Europe, Asia and Australia to the activities in Bauleni, while also looking beyond: his future ambition is to further explore the idea of sustainability through the medium of eco-villages.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

What a brilliant idea!!! So easy! I can see no reason why we wouldn't all want to be self sustaining in terms of growing our own vegetables.
This is SUCH an important point:
"EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WE USE, TAKES ENERGY TO CREATE" (Joesph Millman, 2016).
It makes you realise that, conversely, everything you throw away, is a big waste of energy. It is then obvious and vital to use food waste to create more food.
Be empowered! Start gardening today!
