Hello Elphinstone's Army. Thanks so much for your comments. My name is Megan, I've lived here nearly a decade, and in this time I've always loved the sense of community within East Dulwich. Engaging with communities rather than feeling isolated from them is a major theme for one of our key causes, the Charity Mind. The platform is one from which to engage and promote discussion at a local level and beyond about a challenge that receives national and international attention, and for causes that affect us all regardless of geographical boundaries. As a local, it makes sense to me to turn to my community and those within it who may share similar values, and the aim of my post is simply to share, and gladly hear of any ideas re. collaboration and support, and promoting and contributing towards local initiatives and interests should the opportunity to do so be there. Yes, absolutely, regarding passage! Closer to home I've recently kayaked and packrafted the Thames and Grand Union Canal clearing plastic, which ultimately needs to be tackled at source before it reaches the sea - please feel free to look up www.daretwodo.com should you be interested to see what we found! We were so happy to see active discussion arising from our daily finds in clearing nearly 5,000 pieces of rubbish from the waterways, and I'm certainly inspired to see these messages already being championed by so many of our local businesses - for example, many of our local pubs no longer offering straws automatically. I really appreciate your comments, thanks again. Megan
