Yesterday at the SIFT July Board Meeting the Trustees voted in a new trustee. We welcomed Dairne Poole to the team which now brings the trustee numbers up to 5. Hopefully, in the near future we will do a little post on her and her thoughts for SIFT but for the moment we welcome her as a great new addition to help SIFT achieve its objectives.

We did come across this great little video today about a new packaging free store to open in the US. It would be great to have more of these in Canterbury. Click on the image below to go to the video. Sourced originally from Re-Nest.

ingredients packaging free videoA version in the UK is Unpackaged. Lovely store. We blogged about it here a while ago.

Have a safe weekend.
