- where do you take your trash after the Burn?
- A crash course in MOOP
- Kneecap that impact: how much your journey across the earth, costs the earth
- And finally, be a considerate free spirit, yo (respect thy neighbour)

What about Wellington conversations (recently launched), connect with a local community garden, or your local timebank initiative (engage in Radical Self-Reliance and use Google for your local needs). Other things: volunteer, join a beach clean up, dance when everybody is watching, or not. Don’t know what the Principles are? Get learned!
