The Environment Centre is celebrating its new more regional name as well as launching our great new “Green Card” for those who become individual members of the centre. Forty two local businesses have come on board and are offering a range of discounts to our members.
During the week, the Centre will be open til 8pm, with talks on each evening, and culminating in Green Drinks on Friday at 5.30pm.
Drop in anytime, or in the evening or at lunchtime for free nibbles and a movie, have a look around at the information we offer, what groups are doing, and find out which other businesses we are partnering with to encourage more sustainable purchasing.
Support your centre, bring your friends or workmates!
