[FLPERMACULTURE] Invite to table at the Summertime Block Party 7/7/7

[Margaret McCasland]

Hi Elizabeth,

I am not a group, though I may be able to staff a table for one by
then (I'm meeting with a couple of faith-based eco-justice groups in
the meantime who may want to have a table).  But even if it's "just
me," I would like to be there with a table, a couple of chairs, and
"scratch paper" for talking with folks and writing down their thoughts
and suggestions.

My personal focus is on low-income people like myself who have been
largely left out of the "green your life by buying stuff" flavor of
most eco suggestions/options. And so I would like to find out how
other low income folks feel about their options and what kinds of
things they have been doing OR would like to be able to do.

Sounds like a great party!

Margaret
