SWAP OLD CLOTHES FOR NEW AT RIPE MARKET: The Ariel POD Swap Shop is popping up at Ripe this weekend, and is inviting people to exchange preowned items of clothing for new (to you), preloved items from sustainable fashion brand Retold. Or, bring an empty bottle of liquid detergent to swap for a free pack of Ariel PODS! Designed to discourage the throwaway nature of fast fashion, this is a great way to raise kids’ awareness of sustainability, while getting a ‘new’ wardrobe for them (or you!) at the same time. Plus, there’s a tonne of fun to be had at Ripe Market when you’re finished. DETAILS: 19 and 20 February, Ripe Market, Academy Park, Umm Suqeim, (9am-7pm Friday, 10am-7pm Saturday).
