Best and Worst of Reciprocity

Yo! I hope you know what the share shelf is at UNBC, your centre for reciprocity:

Reciprocate!

It’s on the third floor of the NUGSS building at UNBC. The idea is, you have some USEFUL that you no longer need. Instead of trashing it. Stick it on the shelf so your fellow humans in arms can continue to use it 😉

Here is the BEST of the reciprocity shelf this week. If you’re a dirtbag like me, you’re gonna love this! If you like to make fun of people from a distance, keep reading for the WORST of the reciprocity shelf 😀

Bestie!!

dear: mr/mrs. apple drink dink

if you like apples and like them hot in your cup...like most people with a heart (sorry apple haters, no one actually thinks you don't have a heart...it just prefers a less desirable fruit) .... you take the evidence that proved its deliciousness...and dispose of it (in the greenest manner  possible of course).....because of you.....the hot apple deliciousness now ends up here..... an over exploited indisposed worstie.

My Peace River - #NoSiteC

My Peace River is a multimedia project showcasing the Peace Region by photographer Jodie Ponto and musician Jody Peck. The project was created in response to the threat of the Site C Dam on the Peace River. The two artist came together to raise awareness of the project around the province, and to celebrate the beauty of the Peace River. Jody Peck, also known as Miss Quincy, along with Twin Peaks, also from the Peace Region, will be releasing an EP with songs recorded live at the August 29th event Party For The Peace. All proceeds raised from the event and the sale of the EP will go directly to the Treaty 8 First Nations court battle against the Site C Dam.

Jodie Ponto has released postcards and will be selling prints of her photography to raise money and awareness for the court battle as well.

Pre-order the EP on Indiegogo and make sure to check out the store at MyPeaceRiver.ca to purchase prints and postcards.

They are also encouraging everyone to share photos and stories about the Peace Region via their Instagram and Facebook pages. Check out a sampling of these images below:
