Winter Is HERE 🎄- A (Zero-Waste) Christmas Exchange And Other Surprising Stories BANCHA TALKS in the inaka

Hello friends! The winter chill has crept into our bones after an unseasonably warm autumn 🍂 Join Linda, Kana, and their special guest - Sil, new arrival in Kamikatsu all the way from Belgium! - as they huddle around the maki stove and talk about a year in review. 

Don’t miss the ideas for holding a zero-waste gift exchange, stories of bike trips across Europe (low emissions way to travel!), and other tidbits from life in the Japanese countryside. Happy Holidays to all and to joy in the new year!😽🎍
