Revive a LETS scheme to allow people pool collective skills. There is a revived scheme running in Bradford

A directory of green food suppliers is available at Ilkley Freecycle Café including organic fruit and veg deliveries, milk deliveries, local meat
We could expand this to web pages on tips on being green with local green news, work with local council sustainability teams to receive support for the scheme.

Could we start a green gardening group?
