$1 Market- Halloween weekend, Ranui!
fb.me...
After the success of our first Recycle Market at Edmonton Primary School, SUSTINNOWORX is holding another at Ranui Action Project, Saturday 29 October!
Help us to rehome good condition clothing in time for summer as we relocate our Henderson store! CLOTHING $1 | WOMENS, MENS, KIDS | $1 FABRIC
This event is kindly hosted by Ranui Action Project and supported by Rotalite Club of West Auckland.
This donated, good condition clothing would often be sent to landfill as it is not good enough to be sold in store. We pride ourselves in never dumping any of our excess stock, and upcycling poor condition donations in our workshop.
What are you supporting by coming to Recycle Market? Sustinnoworx is a social enterprise which exists as a training site for vulnerable women involved in the charitable organisation, Shakti. Shakti supports immigrant women effected by domestic violence, to safely reintegrate into society using housing, training and counselling. Shakti clients come to Sustinnoworx as part of their training, to learn retail, sustainability and upcycling skills. Through developing confidence, employability skills, English skills, and sustainability ideals, these women can integrate effectively and happily back into the community. Profits from preloved clothing, eco products and upcycled goods sold in the Sustinnoworx store go directly to supporting the housing and reintegration of these women. Sustinnoworx is currently based at 7/104 Central Park drive- follow us to be first to know when we relocate!
We look forward to seeing you there!
Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
