The No Waste Man part 2

This is a continuation of the 123 Jubilee post on The No Waste Man

Now that Davd Fraile manages the operations of Eastern Market he can blend together several projects, thus reducing waste in still another way! By combining the efforts of The Really Really Free Market, the Lancaster Skill Share Collective and other like minded community projects a synergy is produced, accelerating progress in reducing waste and creating community resources. Fraile's own efforts and that of many others will be maximized!

Way to go "No Waste Man"!

The rest of this article comes from the website www.historiceasternmarket.org, which announces:

" an ongoing series of free workshops on self-sufficiency and sustainability skills for the 2011 season. In partnership with local organizations such as The Lancaster Skill Share Collective, LIVE Green, Transition Lancaster and The Alley Garden, Eastern Market will offer weekly workshops on money and resource saving skills such as urban gardening, native tree planting, composting, food preservation, homemade baby food, bike maintenance, sewing, printmaking and more. We are currently scheduling workshops and are interested in hearing from anyone that has a skill to share. Please send all inquiries to lancasterskillshare@gmail.com

Really, Really Free Market

Beginning May 28th 2011, Eastern Market will be the proud host of Lancaster's Really, Really Free Market. Since 2007, The Really, Really Free Market has collected donations of clothing, appliances, kitchen items, books, movies, art supplies, tools, and many other useful goods from Lancaster residents. On the second Saturday of every month, volunteers have set up in Penn Square and distributed these items for free to city residents, offering items of need to neighbors while reducing waste and promoting environmental awareness. By providing storage space and a lively public venue for The Free Market, Eastern Market will allow this heretofore monthly event to begin taking place every week. To volunteer or donate, please contact lancasterfreemarket@gmail.com
