Stirling Reuse Hub challenges residents of Stirling to reduce their impacts on the planet by signing up to a range of events
The MSP for Stirling, Evelyn Tweed, is encouraging local residents to take part in the Stirling Reuse Hub’s series of events as part of the ‘Buy Nothing New For June’ campaign.
Zero Waste Scotland has estimated that 80% of Scotland’s carbon footprint can be directly attributed to the products, services and materials we consume. ‘Buy Nothing New for June’ links the Stirling Reuse Hub with a range of reuse organisations across Stirling to challenge the residents of Stirling to reduce their impacts on the planet. The Stirling Reuse Hub will be hosting a range of events to enable residents to fix broken items, create something new from something old and buy preloved items.
Residents will be able to sign up to these events from Wednesday 25th May via Stirling Reuse Hub website – The Reuse Hub — Transition Stirling.
In addition, the Stirling Reuse Hub are pleased to be launching their new repair service at the start of June 2022. This follows the successful launch of their online shop earlier this month which enables customers to see the vast range of products that are in the Stirling Reuse Hub store.
Evelyn Tweed MSP said; “I had the pleasure of visiting the Stirling Reuse Hub shortly after they opened in March 2022 and it is an incredible resource full of upcycled items alongside works by local artists. I am pleased to hear that they are going from strength to strength and would encourage residents to take part in the ‘Buy Nothing New For June’ initiative.
“Now is a crucial time for us to be able not only do our bit for the planet but also save a bit of money by reusing, repairing or buying second hand items rather than buying new. The programme of events looks really exciting and I wish the Stirling Reuse Hub great success.”
Kate Hamilton, Stirling Reuse Hub Manager said; “We are incredibly excited to launch our ‘Buy Nothing New For June’ campaign. We are hopeful that the programme of events will enable and inspire local residents to fix broken items, create something new from something old and buy preloved items to reduce their impact on the planet.”
