Hello

Just wanted to let you know about the next beach clean up. Once again we will be at Nim Shue Wan beach (near the Mui Wo/Peng Chau ferry) and Cheung Sha Lan beach (along the path towards the monastery) on Sunday Junes 29th from 9am – 12pm. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen (an umbrella too!), sturdy shoes, tongs if you want, and a refillable water bottle (Hoi Yu is once again supplying us with water). Refreshing softdrinks & beer will be available after the clean up for a small charge, water and the BBQ are free once again for all hardworking participants! Gloves, rubbish bags and handwashing facilities will be provided.

Our beach clean up this time will focus on the huge build up of styrofoam that has accumulated recently. Not only do we want to remove this unsightly and highly polluting waste from the seas and shore but we will also have a fun environmental awareness campaign featuring an information display and an eye catching array of ’seafood’ courtesy of The WayToGo (checkout this new environmental movement at www.way-to-go.org) . We want to really try and tackle this problem at the source and believe that the only way we can do this is to greatly reduce the use of this product.

Please come along and see how each person can easily make a difference!

Once again, we have had fantastic support from Hemingway’s by the Bay who are kindly putting on an after clean up BBQ down on the beach. There have been some great prizes donated too for some hard working beach cleaners. Among the prizes is an organic and eco friendly gift basket from www.Kinoa-shop.com which will include soapnuts for clothes washing, rechargeable batteries, battery converters, cosmetics and edible treats!

Looking forward to seeing you all down there before you head off for summer holidays.

FLEA MARKET 22nd JUNE

FLEA MARKET 22nd JUNE
HELP!! I am in NZ that weekend and I can not run any of our 3 stalls. We need several volunteers to help run it from 12 noon to 5pm. And a few others to stand in line to get stalls for the next flea market in September. It is always a lot of fun and great to meet people and there are plenty of bargains to be had for both shoppers and vendors. It is also a wonderful opportunity to break the chain of buying only new ’stuff’ and giving those unwanted items another life. If you want to donate some goods bring them down to one of the stalls and if you can donate an hour or 2 of your time to help on the stall I’m sure that would be much appreciated. Please email kate.wade@dbgreen.org if you have any spare time to help on the day. At the moment I know of only one person who can be there and she will need a lot more support.
Also there is a stall for use by any of you if you like to sell your own things and keep the money or donate to a cause of your choice. Any takers?
