Swap Meet Party from Outerspace!
If green is the new black, then swap is the new shop. They did it in the olden days, back when the planet was healthy and 'economic crisis' was a completely foreign phrase, so maybe a few olives for a bit of your chutney here and there isn't such a bad idea. Don't worry though, at this Swap party you won't be sent home with handfuls of olives and chutney.
Reverse Garbage
'One person's trash is another person's treasure'... This is precisely the thinking behind West End's renowned rummage-haven Reverse Garbage. This eco-minded, non-for-profit co-op is a myriad of things: a little bit craft shop, a little bit thrift shop, a little bit hard-rubbish-collection-night, and a whole lot of genius.
New Farm Editions
It's birthday season coming up, so you better get ready. Okay, we might not have any statistical proof of this, but there does seem to be an awful lot of births this time of year doesn't there? Count back nine months and you can work out what parents were really doing when they were meant to be wrapping Christmas presents.
Big Square Eye
Retravision? Yes, we were as surprised as you are. But this year the familiar electrical store is climbing onboard the BF08 cultural bandwagon by surprising shoppers with installations from the Big Square Eye multimedia artwork series. The installation will present the video and moving language work of 15 carefully selected young Queenslanders.
Biome
It’s pretty cool to be green these days, ride bikes, use brown toilet paper, that kind of thing. But finding ways to rehash stuff you’ve got lying around can be a challenge. So Biome does it for you.
The two-store company is dedicated to providing consumers with socially responsible, recycled and green products.
