ConkerTU media covers Space for Life, Nottingham

We love the sound of this event so much that we just had to share it with you - in fact we’ll be there on the Sunday making media for the event as our ConkerTU Local in on Saturday 27th. Looks like the East Midands is really kicking butt in the sustainability stakes - this is where it’s at, folks - #notinlondon ;-)

Freeconomy www.justfortheloveofit.org.uk Freeconomy helps to reconnect people in their local communities through the simple act of sharing. Mark Boyle, founder of Freeconomy has been living without money for the past year, this is a rare opportunity to meet and engage with him as he will be here for the whole weekend, he will be giving a talk on Saturday afternoon with a Q and A session afterwards.

Marks first book is due to be published soon …. “ be the change I wanted to see in the world, it unfortunately meant I was going to have to give up cash, which I initially decided to do for a year. I got myself a caravan, parked it up on an organic farm where I was volunteering and kitted it out to be off-grid…” Come and hear his story….
