Hey Hazel,
Kits Village potluck tonight if you'd like to join us!
Cheers,
Ross
Thanks for your message Hazel, and welcome to Village Vancouver! And great to see that you've already joined Kits Village.
It's good to see your interest in green houses and how to keep them green. In the past, we've done stuff around green roofs and walls (i.e. re: growing food on them), energy efficiency and reduction workshops, etc. As far as I'm aware, we don't have projects going on in this area at the moment...but we run on people power - people acting around their interests - so yes, if you'd like to discuss doing or organizing something, let me know and we'll talk about it.
Hope you're doing well!
Cheers,
Ross
