DIY simple produce bags today at Queen Vic Market. The plastic bag you get today will outlive you! One of the simplest ways to reduce our impact on the environment is to swap out single-use plastics with alternatives that are friendlier for the world we live in. Eliminate your need to use single use plastic produce bags ever again by making your own reusable bag. Every reusable bag helps because an average plastic bag is used for a mere 12 minutes and takes 100s years to break down. #shopsustainably #plasticfreepackaging #zerowastevictoria#consciousshopping #responsiblestyle #lowwastehome#lowwasteliving #plasticfree #ourplanetourhome#sustainablepractices #zerowastegoals #wastefreeplanet#sustainablechoices #zerowaste @vicmarket @zerowastevictoria (at Queen Victoria Market) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCFg6tvWEG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

• @zerowastevictoria Sustainable Fashion – is it possible? - 3:00pm in The Edge, Fed Square - Saturday 17 September. Redressing the future of Fashion. Trying to shop sustainably is not always easy in a world dominated by ‘fast fashion’. While this makes high turnover clothing affordable, there are negative environmental and social impacts in clothing production. And the waste is enormous with 23 kg of clothing per person ending up in landfill each year. Change in the way we treat fashion needs to happen now. Learn where you can start, what you can do, and hear from some inspiring individuals who are shifting the fashion paradigm. Hear from  * Aife Oloughlin, @salvosstores, Customer Experience Manager * Patricia McCarthy-Henry,  Educator at RMIT and Knitwear Designer at @pmaxi_knit * Ben Kaminsky, @textile.recycling * Nat Stratos, Circular Design Practitioner and Consultant * Katrina Naish, @afittingconnection (panel moderator) Entry to the Zero Waste Festival is free. Book in to register your interest via the link in our bio and be kept informed about our program.

• @zerowastevictoria Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It at the Zero Waste Festival - Saturday 17 September at Fed Square.   This year we will be holding a Mending Circle showing how mending items is a great activity to undertake. The theme will be ’Stitch It, Don’t Ditch It’ following the success of events around the globe.   Come along to our circle between 10am - 4pm, take a seat and join in for a chat or mend. We will have menders repairing their own items who are also happy to discuss mending with attendees of any age. If you bring items they will help show how to mend them. We aim to show how easy mending is to do yourself.  Entry to the Zero Waste Festival is free. Book in to register your interest for the Festival via the link in our bio and be kept informed about our program.
