Bev Lee
There was a lot to read and talk about in March, with member contributions playing a key role. Fe raised the issue of the harmful effects of fast fashion, much of which is made from plastics, and toxic textile dyes, particularly textile dye water pollution, on the environment. Fe’s resources included the ‘Plastic Soup’ website’s ‘Plastic Fashion’. Also on the theme of waste, Bev brought along the latest edition of the ‘Businesses and Organisations offering Recycling Deposit Points’ flier produced by the BSFG WasteWise Benalla team, the team offering a range of recycling options to us in the servery area of the kitchen. Here’s a photograph of the latest ‘gathering point’ they’ve created to help us all to recycle thoughtfully! Bev Lee Comments are closed.

'Sustainability'True sustainability is only achieved when our society achieves this in three spheres of our activity: Social, Economic and Environmental. Sustainability in each of these three spheres is far from being achieved. This has become the concern of governments and ordinary people world-wide and has resulted in many questions about the sustainability of our present lifestyle. Meeting Times1st and 3rd Friday
