Love shopping but hate waste? If you're curious how to keep your shopping habit sustainable (on the environment and your wallet too), the Refuse the Refuse Market could be a good place to start.

From skincare to underwear, the market will showcase local businesses who are committed to reducing waste and being kind to the earth. The eco-friendly lineup includes vegan treats by In Bloom, organic cotton underwear by Thunderpants, up-cycled jewellery by Three March Hares, skincare by Smooch Natural Products, Fairtrade clothing by Little Yellow Bird, period products by Wa Collective, plus loads more.

Do your bit this Plastic-Free July by stocking up on ethical goodies for yourself or for your pals, and support some clean, green businesses at the same time.

Saturday, 27 July (this weekend)
10:30am to 2:30pm
2 Forresters Lane (opposite Bunnings on Tory Street) Wellington.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
