The all volunteer approach of foodsharing, as well as the relative moneylessness inspired the others and in general a pleasant atmosphere of understanding filled the room: Even though our approaches may vary, we all seem to work towards the same goal, which is a better world for everyone, where resources are treated with respect. Particia invited us to the NESI, the new economy & social innovation forum, which will take place in Málaga from the 19th to the 22nd of April. Unai will probably go there as a volunteer.

Meanwhile, Joachim and Unai went to the harbor to pick up a europallet for the bike trailer. This turned out to be quite the journey: First they rode the tram for 20 minutes, then they walked and picked up, what turned out to be not a europallet but a much bigger one, which Joachim estimated to weigh around 40 kg. They rode tham tram back with it and had to carry it around for almost 45 minutes until they could finally leave it at the workshop, where the bike trailer would be built. Most ironical part of this story: After all this hassle Joachim spotted an abandoned europallet next to the public dumpsters close to the workshop...
There was still some time left before the daily pick-ups. Janina spent it in the small library working on finalizing the presentation and updating this logfile. Joachim wanted to join in, too, but his laptop refused to start, so he went back home - only to find out, that after taking out the battery and putting it back in everything worked fine, again. Well, better than the other way around, right?
At 9 15 pm Janina and Joachim went to save some more food: First to the panadería, where they got six baguettes and then to Ecorganic, where two crates of fruits and veggies awaited them. On the way back home the dumpsters of the bakery yielded creamy tartlets, croissants and even three dinner trays, which would be perfect for the ecent the next day!
