REACHING out to a sustainably-minded readership, the creative team behind Ballarat-based re:think<\/em> magazine aim to inspire the community to reuse and repurpose materials.<\/p>\n

Editor, Selena Buckingham has been at the helm of the quarterly publication since its seventh issue, and said it\u2019s a lifestyle magazine with a waste-reduction twist.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur articles look at fashion and the arts… issues around waste, what it is, and redefining that as an issue. Waste isn\u2019t waste until it\u2019s wasted,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also explore the definition of something being unwanted or discarded, and champion makers that turn that stuff into something amazing that is wanted and needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at these forward thinkers, practical people with old skills, and keepers of wisdom, maybe we can look at what they\u2019re doing, and do something similar; make the old into new.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently receiving an ACMA regional grant for publishing, Ms Buckingham said the re:think<\/em> team has been given a positive boost.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fantastic because print, and newsworthy print, is becoming a dying art. This grant has helped us develop a new website launching in November,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have a shop, a bit like Etsy, to champion smaller makers who need some promotion. We\u2019ll have classifieds where people can sell their products, driven by postcode, and information about events and what local councils are doing regarding recycling.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPrint is still our major way of championing all this, but we can be more involved with a digital platform, while remaining sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Buckingham said the magazine has regular trusted contributors, but encourages more Ballarat residents to submit story ideas, putting sustainably focused people or projects in the spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe rely on a couple of people each edition, and often have contributions from Grampians Central West Waste and Resource Recovery Group,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople can fill out the submission form at our website, and often that brings our attention to things we didn\u2019t know were happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leading magazine production from the goldfields, Ms Buckingham said it\u2019s a \u201cprogressive, engaging\u201d place to be when it comes to sharing green ideas.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving an association with Grampians Central West Waste, we know they\u2019re really quite ahead of themselves, thinking of new ways to engage people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s also BREAZE, running lots of great projects, and tight-knit community groups passionate about what they do,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople do tend to band together…and we certainly draw on those people when we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
