Just a quick update!

Hi there my Green Market friends. Apart from the flu that tackled me down to the ground, we have decided to cancel the 2 of May's event. We have thought it best to do so as the long weekends are messing around with our plans.

Thus, this is a great opportunity to stock up on all your green products and start making your recycled arts and crafts for our next event on the 6th of June.

We need - Upcycled furniture, clothes, accessories, art etc. It can be made from recycled things like recyclable trash, old clothes, furniture, accessories and anything old that you can reuse. The Green Market really wants to grow this recycled, reused, upcycled category, so come on - help us out. Apart from that - what we also really need is fresh organic herbs, fruits and veggies. Very important. :)

One of our visions for the Green Market is to be a one of a kind event where people can come and learn more about starting your journey on going green ( through talks, workshops and demonstrations), where they can come and enjoy the day while listening to music setting the atmosphere, shopping for amazing green goodies (from organic and natural skincare, solar products, organic and natural foods and drinks, worm farms, green garden and home products, recycled arts and products made from recycled materials to eco baby products and so much more) and also rediscovering nature and the importance of life.

We also saw a great need for education on recycling. For these next events in 2009 we are focussing on educating people on the basics of recycling - how to, what to, where to and why to recycle. There is a great need for recycling services but people aren't willing to take control and start innitiatives in their communities and because of that we are dragging this issue behind and nothing gets solved. If you are interested in maybe starting a recycling service in your neighbourhood, your complex etc and you need more info on how to start, please get in contact with us - we know people who can help... :) Recycling is very important and if we are not gonna do something about it - no one will. Take control.
