Go along and have a browse, and let us know if we’ve missed anything. Our links section will be growing all the time, so do give us your recommendations.
We’re gearing up for our zero waste week during the first week in September. We have heaps of lovely prizes lined up so that you can all join in the celebration. Ecoutlet, Laptop lunchboxes and The Natural Store have all donated some fabby prizes for starters and there are many more to come.
