Today I went to the Choose 2 Reuse Fair being held at the York Designer Outlet. The whole ethos behind the fair is about reusing, recycling and up-cycling to minimise the amount of waste we use and to make York a greener place to live.
The fair took place in a marquee in the Designer Outlet's car park.
This stall was amazing! All the items for sale were made out of old crisp packets.
The lady who made all this stuff was doing demos to teach people how they too could recycle crisp packets.
Here are some more pics from the fair.
As you can see there was a wide range of things for sale. I was inspired to buy a rag rug making kit after a demonstration by the ladies who ran a stall. I'm really looking forward to having a go at a craft I've never done before. The fair was run by the Council, and as a thank you for filling out a survey form you were given a free cloth shopping bag.
