A penny (well, $200) for your thoughts Recycling Easter Egg wrappers 7 days of waste Stallholder Spotlight Win a $200 voucher for having an opinion! WHAT? It's been a while since we surveyed our community to hear what would make our markets even better for you. So to sweeten the deal, we're giving away a $200 MWIW voucher to one lucky, random person who fills it out. It's only short, don't worry. Here's the link to have your say, and go in the draw! Easter Eggs wrappers are 100% recyclable... but?! Did you know that foil Easter egg wrappers are 100% recyclable? A quick Google and its says we CAN put it in our roadside collection in NZ, but on the Wellington Council website, it says we can't?! Then I started researching... The Sustainability Trust in the Wellington CBD will collect foil, but I struggled to find many more drop off points. In the comments, share any drop off points around the country that you know of. How much waste do you make in 7 days? I was scrolling Instagram and came across this thought provoking reel... Photographer Gregg Segal had photographing people surrounded by a week’s worth of their own trash. I guess it's usually out of sight, out of mind, but when you're presented with it like this... Can you image what YOUR photo would look like? Stallholder Spotlight Kia ora, I'm Emma and I've been doing my little side hustle, Thrifted Finds by Emma, since 2022.
I've loved op shops and thrifting since I was a teenager and after sourcing a lot of things second hand for my small, low waste wedding in 2022, it reignited my passion and I wanted to start sharing it with others. Sustainability and being environmentally conscious are core values of mine, so being able to help others see the value in purchasing second hand as well as find beautiful pieces for people who maybe don't have the time or resources to thrift themselves, is a real pleasure. I focus on quality, good brands, natural fibers and the odd vintage piece as well as offering a range of sizes. I have young kids and a day job, so I usually only pop up at My Walk in Wardrobe markets a couple of times a year, but in between, you can follow me on Instagram to check out my latest finds there: @thriftedfindsbyemma

There's a great drop off centre in Hastings. Previously known as The Environmental Centre, they're now Sustainability Hawke's Bay as they are doing a whole BUNCH of things around sustainability. Leave a Reply. |
