Hey Sustainable Ashland.... everyone in garden planning mode? I would be happy to help anyone who needs it... the more the merrier!I started a new blog a while back: http://yardavore.blogspot.com. I took my time is deciding what my focus is...organic food, gardening, sustainability etc...turned out to be a little of everything. I just added "comments" and would like to invite you to join me in the conversation. I particularly want to draw your attention to an organization called BALLE....it's under the label "Localism Movements". I'm new here and wondered if there is anything like that going on in Ashland. Also, in general I'd like to get information about what is going on in Ashland in"sustainability" or localism....thanks, look forward to hearing from you.

I know where there is scrap wood in great shape.  Sometimes you can find other neat stuff there too.  There is a big square brown building on the corner of Hargadine and (first?) next door to the Oregon Cabaret theater, iacross from the Ashland Springs Hotel.  It looks like an old warehouse.  That is where OSF builds the sets.  In the back in the alley there is a dumpster where they toss the odds and ends that get left over.  Mostly just wood but sometimes there are all kinds of neat projects in there.  They dont mind people taking it if your safe and discreet about it, it reduces thier waste and may actually save them money.

I'm in with swap/free...long history of dumpster diving. Do you all know about the service trading community also being started here. Can't remember the name just off the bat.

In the Office of Old Mill Village (SOU student housing complex on Whitman)

There is a bulliten board.  On it there are two sets of cards, one

set says "have but dont need", the other set says "need but dont have"

People fill them out and post them. 

You could create an online group based on that idea, or find a way to extend SOU's board beyond the complex via marketing it.  If your a student of a related dicipline, it would make a good class project.

Im not sure what you are seeking to buy co-operatively, but the Food Co-op actually started out of someone's garage, check into that history to see

how they did it.

Thanks Nikki... sounds good. I have noticed since I posted my comment that most of the other comments are from a year ago or more... maybe a get together and a move would be a good thing...I'm interested in cooperative buying and networking salvage items.... is there a better place for that?

@Tonia Vernet. I know of a coffee house that can be used for screenings.  Must be held after 6pm.  If you get some interest in that, it is a great space for it.
