Poll: Do you support the idea of sustainable gifting?

Lexi from Newmarket

Hi I'm a yr12 Epsom Girls Grammar student conducting a brief poll to find out whether there is support for adapting a sustainable approach over conventional gifting practices.

Sustainable gifting is choosing multi-purpose and/or eco-friendly products and recyclable packaging rather than random, impulsive products that may be thrown away later and single use packaging such as wrapping paper and non-recyclable cellophane/plastic.

Some of our local retailers are already making their input into sustainable products. These include however are not limited to: Kathmandu, Macpac, The Body Shop, Organic/Bulk stores such as Huckleberry etc. These products are sometimes labeled as recycled, traceable, organic or compostable.

This is a part of my Environmental Studies internal project and I would really appreciate if you took a minute of your time to answer 1 question.

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village

Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect.

This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.

Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
