Conscious local action towards a sustainable future for the Earth
Sustainable Whanganui Trust wants the whole community to flourish in these changing and challenging times.
We have resources (and considerable collective wisdom) to help our community become
more self-sufficient and live sustainably and creatively.
Our resources page is a good place to start.
WE’RE MOVING!
We’re excited to announce that we’re on the move to Drews Avenue in the CBD.
The ReUse Academy is having a “take anything for free” week until Friday 7 March,
then we’ll be closed while we pack, move and tidy up.
Offers of help are welcome!
Watch this space … we plan to open in our new premises Saturday 13 April.
