As well as being good for the Sumac Community\, we provide a valued service to them by helping reduce their waste\, which would otherwise go to landfill or incineration. \nThis\, together with an option of sharing our surplus with Sherwood Exchange and local animal rescues\, gives SIX opportunities for these foods to be consumed! \nIt is the obsession with perfection by the food industry and supermarkets that is driving the food waste crisis.\nThe planet benefits by surpluses being diverted from landfill\, even if it ultimately ends up making compost for the Sumac Garden. \nfood.gov.uk recommends a visual check or the ‘smell test’ to assess the quality of fruit and veg\, or packaged foods with a ‘best before‘ date.

SUMMARY:Sumac Library and Bookstall + Rainbow Archive
DESCRIPTION:The Sumac Centre has its own small library\, which people are free to browse when the Centre is open. \nThe library covers a range of topics from anarchism\, animal rights\, political and social theory\, race\, gender and class\, environment and ecology\, activism\, to journalism and history and more. \nWe also welcome offers of help in helping to keep the Library (& book stall) organised. \nSumac also hosts the Veggies Book Stall\, available whenever the Centre is open. Their are books and journals for reference and for sale covering green\, human rights\, animal issues\, anti-war\, co-operation and social justice. Some are available via Veggies online store. \nWe have started a catalogue of books in the library and another of journals and other archives. \nWe are working with the Sparrows Nest Library. They are adopting our huge wealth of pre-digital campaign resources from the 1980s & 90s. They hope to make our archives publically available\, or at least catalogued. \nFor the Public Catalogue search for “Rainbow Centre” and Rainbow archives detailed listing. \nSee also “Raiubow Centre” at the Internet Archive  \n  \nSupport this project\nWe need to raise £400 for the next part of our archiving work. If you can help with a small donation please DONATE via https://sumac.org.uk/get-involved/donate/ \n \nMore information on the Sumac Library\, including it’s Rainbow Centre pre-history\, may be seen at https://sumac.org.uk/get-involved/library-bookshop/
