[re]design is a social enterprise based in the UK for “designers who don’t want to make landfill”. Their latest show is called Doing It For The Kids (a slide show) and is described as sustainable play design. They have striking images of ‘toys’ recycled toys make great gifts, all made from recycled materials. We are looking for Canadian designers to feature on our website…if you are or know of one, please contact us with their information.
Victoria CRD are talking about banning wood from landfill…great idea, as long as we prohibit businesses from burning ‘waste’ wood. Recycling wood is a workable, profitable business model and check out a British Columbia Recycled Wood Company
Last day for this season on Sunday at Government Street Artisan Market (by the China Town Gates). This is Leona’s chance to talk ‘recycling’ to folks from Victoria and out of town and a chance to sell upcycled products. These products show what happens to all that recycling - no, it doesn’t end up on landfill.
Join us at the BC Women’s Show & Sale on October 3 & 4 (10-5pm) at Pearkes Recreation Centre at Tillicum.
