WITH the January sales underway, Zero Waste Scotland is urging bargain hunters to miss the mayhem without compromising on quality.
By visiting their local Revolve-certified store and buying second-hand, shoppers can help reduce waste and find great brands at great prices – be it on clothes, books, furniture and toys.
More than 100 stores across Scotland are now certified with the national Revolve standard – a quality kitemark that lets shoppers know they are buying high-quality goods from a reputable retailer and can expect an excellent customer experience.
In addition, buying from the stores has the added benefit that it helps the planet and supports local social enterprises and good causes.
As well as stores in the likes of Falkirk, Glasgow and Inverness, there are three Revolve-certified re-use and repair superstores in Blythswood Care’s Highlands hub in Dingwall, the Edinburgh Remakery, and the ReStyle Argyll e-hub.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
