Good news for the world’s oceans - Electrolux has just announced that they will be ‘mining’ plastic bags from various oceans to make vacuum cleaners. Trust the Swedes to do the right thing and make sustainable vacuum cleaners. 

Here’s what we do with coloured plastic bags ………eco-chic earrings.
Recycle2shop at the Market nearly got blown away again last Sunday - gusts of wind wreck havoc with our displays, but we carried on regardless. We are at the Government Street Market in Victoria every Sunday, no matter what the weather is doing and as we are so close to the harbour, the winds are unpredictable. Living in ‘paradise’ has to have it’s downside.

The sun even came out behind some pretty heavy duty clouds later in the afternoon. We had visitors from as far away as Germany, Wisconsin, Florida (90 degrees there so they were glad to be cooler), and Castlegar (wet we hear)…and all supportive of our recycling ethos.
