Winter Sustainable Uniform Sale

5

Thank you to all who participated in our Winter Sustainable Uniform Sale on February 20th!

82 shoppers and 35 exchangers came out on a cold and sunny winter’s day. We raised over 420,000HUF in direct sales to be invested back into the project or other sustainability projects around School.

We recirculated 74kg of uniform – 25% of our stock of Sustainable uniform. That is the equivalent of 123 primary uniforms being saved from a landfill.

Or even better that is the CO2 equivalent saved of 18 families not driving their car to school (or anywhere) for 1 day!

As always a big, big thank you to our team of parent volunteers without whom these Sales would not be possible. They sort, wash, carry and display the 290 kilograms of uniforms that you saw on offer at this sale! Not to mention they painstakingly inspect the handed-in uniform and assign your exchange vouchers.

As a reminder if you missed our sale or didn’t use all your shopping vouchers, our next Sale will be our around the April holidays for the spring and summer weather change. Your exchange vouchers are valid for one academic year; so there is still time to join our movement and help us make our community’s uniform more sustainable.
