community we’re building – and that sounds really cheesy – but we’ve got to know people through doing the store, and people have got to know each other as well,” Emma says. “We’ve got two friends who met each other at the stall and now go to lunch together, and people have exchanged contact details, because they work in similar areas of research. Having the stall facilitates so much more within the community than we were expecting.” If you’re not already a follower of Full Circle’s refillable approach, how can you get started? “What we usually say to people is that it depends on
their lifestyle,” Johanna says. “If they get a coffee on their way to work, the first easy swap would be a reusable cup – plus you usually get a discount if you use one. It all depends on people’s lives.” Emma agrees: “One of the most common swaps would be with food: if you eat a lot of lentils, come and buy those packaging-free. Look for those high impact areas and – just do something,” she says. “Just start.” Full Circle is at Cambridge Market Monday/ Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday 10am- 4pm, Sunday 9.30am-4pm. It’s also open on Histon High Street, Saturday 9am-4pm. Find out more at fullcircleshop.co.uk/@fullcircleshopuk
