🦉 4 WEEKS TO GO 🦉

There are just 5 weeks to go until we'll all be singing, dancing, jumping, and skipping our way to Rode Hall for @justsofestival!

Once again, we will be there and running the general store for all of your festival refill needs, so which products would you like to see us bring with us?

✨🍄

🥁🥁DRUMROLL PLEASE🥁🥁

The first book for the Scoop & Scales Bookclub will be The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide: Everything you need to know to make small changes that make a big difference by Jen Gale aka Sustainable-ish

From the blurb ...

"Easy, do-able, down to earth ideas and suggestions for everyone to help save the planet.

If you want to save the planet, but your to-do list is already pretty long and remembering your re-usable coffee cup feels like a Herculean task, then this is the book for you. Covering every aspect of our lives from the stuff we buy and the food we eat to how we travel, work, and celebrate, this book provides stacks of practical, down to earth ideas to slot into your daily life, alongside a gentle kick up the butt to put your newfound knowledge into action. Practical tips include unsubscribing from all the tempting emails that drop into your inbox with details of the newest clothing range or the latest sale, and keeping a mug next to your kettle to work out how much water you actually need to boil each time, as over-filling kettles costs British households £68 million on energy bills each year.

Find out how to fit "sustainable living" into your life, in a way that works for you. Change your impact without radically changing your life and figure out the small steps you can make that will add up to make a big difference (halo not included)."

Will you be reading along and joining us for ou rmeet-up on the 18th October?

STOP THE PRESS📣📣📣

We now stock refill crisps from the glorious heroes that are @spudos_crisps.

"Spudos are grown and produced in the UK on a sustainable farm that uses solar energy, runs the tractors on biodiesel from the rapeseed oil used for cooking the crisps, and grown with recycled digestate fertiliser. You'll taste the difference.

We love crisps, but hate all the plastic packaging they come in. Normal crisp packets take about 80 years to decompose and they can't be recycled. In the UK alone we buy 6 billion bags a year. Right now every crisp bag ever made is still on earth..."

And because its Sccop & Scales you can either choose to reuse your own tub or use one of the Spudo's bags which are made from cellulose derived from wood pulp and will decompose in about 45 days.

Crisps that are good for the planet? Thats a massive YES from us!!!

We had a lovely time watching the 2040 film last night. Thanks to Cinemac for hosting, and to the 50 people who joined us.

Date for your diary for our next film! Wednesday 20th September at 8pm (doors from 7.30).

As part of the #SeasonOfCreation we are showing 'The Letter'.

Tickets are FREE (donations to Cinemac welcome) and you can find out more about the film, and sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/film-the-letter-tickets-677226281037?aff=oddtdtcreator

ECO FILM NIGHT - 2040 💚 TONIGHT!!! Following

ECO FILM NIGHT - 2040 💚

TONIGHT!!!

Following our showing of the film The Oil Machine a couple of months ago we are showing another eco film, 2040.

This is an uplifting film by Award-winning director Damon Gameau who embarks on a journey to explore what the future could look like by the year 2040 if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream.

We have had to pay a licence for this film so are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per ticket but please do speak to us if this will be prohibitive.

Matt will host an optional discussion afterwards.

We hope you can join us to allow us to continue to show eco films at Cinemac.
Please reserve tickets at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/2040-eco-film-showing-tickets-668969835787?aff=oddtdtcreator

MEET THE MANAGER

Fabienne has been a part of the Scoop & Scales team since our very first meetings in the Park Tavern. She sits on our board of directors and works as a manager in the shop on a Thursday morning alongside a lovely team of Thursday morning volunteers...

1. When not working at Scoop & Scales, I love sharing simple and manageable eco-living tips on my blog, @52smallsteps . I think it is really important to show that sustainable living doesn't have to be hard.
2. My fave sweet in the shop was Chocolate Gooseberries, but this has now been surpassed by the Peanut Clusters - if you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend them!
3. I have just started paddleboarding, so any hints or tips and recommendations for where to go would be great.
4. I am part of the team that created and launched Bollington's library of things @bollingtonborrowers
5. I enjoy spending evenings playing board games with the other managers and directors; our collective favourite game at the moment is Wingspan.
6. I love musicals, and one of my 5 chickens is named after Reno Sweeney from Anything Goes.
7. When I have spare time, I enjoy being creative, and you will often find me with a crochet hook in hand

Join our friends from Macclesfield repair cafe this Saturday (8th July) 10-2
.
🗺 WHERE: Macclesfield Community Hall, Duke Street car park, SK11 6UR
.
A repair café is where people gather to work on repairing household objects like bicycles, clothing, electronics and mechanical devices.
The idea is to promote using pre-existing items rather than buying a new one, which would impact the environment.
.
Even if you don’t have a repair, please pop in for tea, cake and a chat!

If you have any questions, please email repaircafe.macc@gmail.com
