I didnt get much of the work done that I wanted to before this Synod Standing Committee meeting (this weekend), but Im pretty excited about it. I have arranged to replace all the non fair trade stuff with Fair Trade options. Im going to have a mini stall and I think it could go well.

I think that I am going to save the big presentation of all this stuff for Synod, and make sure that its done well.

Fiona and Andy were talking about how we can set some stuff up in the Illawarra and then present how it can be done by example. I think that sounds good.

I was also reminded on the weekend that the 10c discount on the milk that Uniting Care use equated to $2 million per year.

Thats 20 Million Liters. Australia uses about 10,000 Million Liters a year.

That’s 0.20% of Australia’s total milk usage. Uniting Care is pretty big so I would guess thats pretty accurate.

Thats a lot of milk though :) But old people do love their coffee!
