Sustainable Papakura

Sustainable Papakura Sustainable Papakura works with the community to nurture and protect Papatuanuku.

We provide awareness information and Sustainable Living Skills workshops to re-imagine and remake lifestyles, that will support Mother Earth to sustain us into the future. Our monthly Sustainable Market - what started as a small local craft market run out of the Pahurehure shops has now expanded to include over on average 35 stalls and is run out of the foyer of Papakura Library and Papakura Museu

m, Great South Road, Papakura. The market is run by a community charity called Sustainable Papakura (formerly Rejuvenate Papakura ). It's our goal to help educate people on how to help save the environment through leading from example. The markets goal is to create a community hub where people can come to learn more about being sustainable / plastic free but also seeing what local talented artists and crafters we have on offer in the community. We like to support other community groups and organisations, the small way we do this is offering a space at each market to help groups with fundraising.
