Bioregional consider this to be the challenge we face globally in relation to Sustainable Products;
Bioregional identify the following goals, set so we can all contribute to a common and ultimate goal;
Since 2006 the Green Centre team have been considering the Bioregional challenge and focusing on the Bioregional goals. The team have applied them through a series of initiatives developed in collaboration with the Brighton and Hove community and further afield through national and global initiatives. Through this organic process of learning our journey has centered around a set of intentions which help us practice the art of Sustainable Products.
Our intentions;
Local to Brighton and Hove we have consciously chosen to reduce our consumption of virgin products by focusing on sharing and acquiring second hand. We have done this through the local community we work with, car boot sales, Friday-Ad, Freegle, Gumtree, eBay and similar networks providing opportunities to extend the life of products.
Nationally we have been introduced to People Tree through our relationship with Siobhan Wilson and the Fair Shop.
Globally we have explored world trends in sustainable materials including bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton. We have looked at recycled materials in fashion. Explored the merits of FSC paper v Recycled Paper.
