This month Feast Goes Green… Our environment has never been more important, which is why May’s Feast is all about going green. Throughout our hubs and planned activities there will be initiatives designed to help us be more green. This Sunday, bring your own tupperware to Feast and fill it up at any food stall to save using new boxes and packaging.
Love veg, reduce waste Want to start growing your own veg even if you don’t have a garden? Jason Prentis, our own Local Green Hero will be hosting a stall on behalf of Veolia (who do all Lambeth council’s recycling) to help you reduce food waste and advise on building your own windowsill veg box!
