Andy Rollerson from Gabriola Island News interviews Michelle MacEwen:
Even though it costs them money, the Gabriola Island Recycling Organization (GIRO) takes all kinds of stretchy plastic bags, including ziplock. What a dedicated organization! www.girodepot.com
Below are a list of media interviews & articles published about the C2C Threads initiative.
In 2021-22, GIRO plans to build a textile-repurposing "maker-space" building as part of its C2C Textile Recycling Initiative. So far, this experiment with a “circular economy” has received province-wide interest, along with international press coverage.
We have applied for and received two generous grants, but we are fund-raising for the final details of the maker-space building: the purchase of specialized equipment and industrial furniture.
