On a slightly different note it was brought to our attention on how the Mirarr are looking to limit uranium mining on their land despite the promise of vast riches.

My name is Tim Denshire-Key, I’m currently studying Industrial Design at RMIT. For my major project this semester, I am designing a sustainable living workshop series, aimed at university students, who are transitioning from living at home to living independently/ in Melbourne for the first time. The basic idea is to run an 8 week workshop series, starting with the most pressing issues of food, transport and furnishings. This will carry through to provoke the participants to become involved and connected within their local communities. This process is aimed to assist in the transition into independent living, with a focus on strategies of how to minimise your impact in the process. For my prototyping phase, I will be developing and testing a food workshop. So for the food workshop, there will be speakers on topics ranging from community gardens, to organics, to fair trade, to dumpster diving, to wild foraging etc. Each speaker will give a brief explanation (5 minutes max) of what their take on sustainable food is, and how it’s accessible within Melbourne. Then the picnic will kick off properly. Once this happens people will be able to seek out the speaker(s) that resonated most for them, and find out more. This test run will happen on Friday, 23 October. Would you be interested in being involved? I’d be asking you to speak briefly about wild food foraging and then enjoy the picnic. The whole event is expected to go for around 2 hours. Hope to hear from you soon, Tim G’day Adam, how’s it going?
