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!
