Want to grab a coffee on the go? Sick of disposable coffee cups? Here is an alternative you can make yourself!
Brigitte Sistig from GLWA says, “Disposable cups are a major issue for our environment. If you forget to bring your own cup, don’t worry. We are creating coffee mugs from recycled glass jars and making heat-bands from recycled fabric to protect your fingers. Come and join us!”
Grey Lynn 2030 Waste Away has been an educator and advocate around food waste, single-use plastics and up-cycling business waste into saleable or hireable products since 2008. Tackling disposable, wasteful materials will step up local waste minimisation efforts.
Free workshops are planned during the summer school holidays at the Grey Lynn Community Centre and other places. Go to the Grey Lynn 2030 Facebook page to find out more: www.facebook.com/GreyLynn2030. Watch this space!
If you are concerned about waste, are a keen sewer or know how to thread a needle and want to get involved in a super-cool collective community project, contact: infogreylynn2030@gmail.com. We’ll be very happy to hear from you!
