Icon & Proverb
This icon represents a group of people from a bird’s-eye view, holding hands in a circle together. The space in the centre could represent “the whole being greater than the sum of the parts”. The proverb “many hands make light work” suggests that when we work together the job becomes easier.

Photo Story
This is a compost-making workshop, run at Carters Road Community in Margaret River, Western Australia, by Gwyn Hitchin and Tim Lane.
Compost is made up of a collection of various elements: food scraps, water, plant matter, manure, ash, etc, which when added individually to the garden are of limited benefit. When these items are brought together in the correct proportions it becomes rich source of food that can readily be taken up by plants. Working together towards a common goal provides the motivation lacking in individual action.
