‘A community fridge is opening in Pollokshields in a bid to reduce food waste and encourage sharing between locals... It looks to enable residents and local businesses to share surplus food and for anyone to help themselves to quality food that would otherwise be wasted’
This looks interesting, does anyone know if this has worked well in other areas?
@scottishwobbly these are pretty cool to read about, I will remain cautiously optimistic
@rapunkulus cautiously optimistic sounds about right, it'd be good to have a group of volunteers run cleaning and maintenance though, like Food Not Bombs or something, so that folk don't feel they need to donate money to keep it going and prevent it from running out of funding n that
@scottishwobbly yep, the community fridges seem like a step in the right direction! And it’ll be good to have the infrastructure and means of provision in place for when capitalism finally eats itself
@rapunkulus Yes, look up The People's Fridge!
@socalledunitedstates that’s cool (no pun intended), looks like they’ve been going for a couple of years now!
