Saturday July 1 marks the 101st International Co-operatives Day with this years’ theme being ‘Cooperatives for sustainable development’.
The Maple Street Co-op will be celebrating the day with a pop-up activity to explore the 17 Sustainability Goals this world-wide event is supporting.
“The Maple Street Co-op is well and truly aligned to these goals,” Assistant Manager Fi Emberton said.
“Our ethos is based on a set of international principles that have planetary, community and personal health at the centre of all we do.”
Saturday July 1 is also the start of Plastic-Free July where the Co-op will be showcasing products to encourage plastic-free living. The Co-op already has a long running commitment to seeking out plastic-free options and advocacy for natural cellophane or recyclable containers use.
Join Fi at Maple Street Co-op, 37 Maple Street, Maleny from 10am-2pm on July 1 for samples of fresh organic produce, making social media posts and learning about what it means to be an owner-member in a true co-operative. https://cutt.ly/WwtCLwVt
