What is behind Sanctuary on Seventh?
Planet. We know the earth is in trouble, we know we all have to do our bit, individuals, councils, governments the whole community, including businesses , large and small.
People. Certain groups of people struggle more than others. These people don't want charity in the form of money, they want to be involved, to contribute and to maintain their dignity.
Profit. All businesses need to make a profit but it's how this impacts on the Planet and the People. By building a sustainable business we believe we can achieve positive outcomes for all three.
So then the questions are what do we do and where do we start?
We create a new business and start by reusing, re-purposing, and recycling as well as using and stocking environmentally friendly products. We reduce the use of other goods and mitigate the use of such products by, collecting rainwater for use and solar energy to put back into the grid and by using all resources as wisely as possible. We aim to use/sell either Fair Trade items or locally produced food and other items whenever possible. We don't have all the answers but we will be constantly looking for them. That is our plan. If you like this idea please help spread the word.
