White is authentic, Red is classic, GREEN is nature! This year, we're celebrating an early Christmas with our new extended family, Grow Community Market! And And... we have a special Green Christmas Gift Exchange that aimed at encouraging people to use 'Preloved' items as gifts 🎁, with a firm stance against purchasing new items. While this concept might seem unconventional or unappealing to some, for us, it's about fostering a mindset that considers nature and personal responsibility. 😶🌫️😶🌫️Some questions to ourselves: How often do traditional gift exchanges truly fulfill our desires? How many good items gather dust in cabinets? How often do gifts end up discarded after just a year or two? 🙈🙈🙈 As organizers of this green market, our journey began with influencing our vendors to embrace this initiative alongside us. By starting small and gradually expanding, we hope to influence more people. Grow Community Market stands as a beacon for climate action, where vendors are prohibited from offering single-use plastic, be it cutlery or takeaway cups. Additionally, we champion local organic farmers and artists, serving as a vibrant platform for the Penang community. If you are interested in joining the market or organising a green market... feel free to contact me !! This year marks a brand-new chapter for me. I never envisioned myself as a market organiser or participating in such an endeavor. It's been a significant achievement for me this year! #greenmarket #marketorganiser #newachievement #newchapter #esg #sdg #sustainability
