shopping fix

Here’s an interesting one to keep an eye on for Wellington based folks interested in a more sustainable lifestyle.

http://www.shoppingfix.org.nz

ShoppingFix is a sustainable shopping initiative that rewards consumers for ‘consuming with a conscience’. It is an independent, non-profit loyalty program for the everyday Wellington consumer – and its centred on local retailers that operate with sustainability in mind

Presently the blog is detailing their progress towards setting up a “sustainable shopping rewards” system in Wellington. If nothing else it makes for an interesting test case for how someone might go about change on the local level. We of the dancing moose wish them good luck.
