Greetings Spoondiful Readers!
I’m very excited to be posting today about a completely out of the blue and truly wonderful honour Spoonful (& myself) have just received! We had to keep it hush hush (hehe) for a few weeks, but now the article is out, I can tell all and say that we are part of the Australian Inaugural Enriched List!
The Enriched list is a list of Australian individuals who are “using their skills, talents and dreams to give more out, get more back and realise their potential.” Nevermind me though, there are some truly amazing other individuals on the list that I think you’ll find both interesting & inspiring.
Have a peek at Michael Mobbs, who has transformed his house in the centre of the inner city to be completely sustainable. Mobbs believes that there is no excuse for concrete takeovers, but rather, that we should plant the food which we spend so much money importing in our cities instead of bringing it in! Why not wild raspberries growing outside our houses, and lines of apple trees down little lanes…? Well he’s done it! Here in Chippendale Sydney you can pick wild fruit off the street, no need to import any apples from overseas!
Or ooh, what about Clare Press, who creates a beautiful vintage-inspired fashion label and believes in “living graciously; the way you might serve tea and dainty cakes or arrange flowers in a crystal vase.” Or Ronni Kahn, who collects perishable foods that would have been wasted and delivers it all over to charities and people in need!
There are so so many wonderful people there to read about and be inspired by… go have a peek :)
thea.
