Feilding Repair Cafe
Thinking hats on people - HOW CAN YOU HELP REDUCE WASTE?
.... perhaps someone could sew up re useable bags for use at the green grocers .... maybe even a purpose built facility out at the Waste Transfer Station that could house the Menzshed and all its amazing equipment, and the Feilding Repair CAFE so it could operate more regularly ... or even a business or someone with space setting up the Terracycle New Zealand recycling system - many ways to do something....
