HỘI AN — The Hội An Community Eco Market will showcase the talents of local creatives, cooks and philanthropists on Sunday (June 4th).

The event’s organisers said the market aims to promote World Environment Day and showcase ethically made and sustainable homemade food and drink products, clothing, jewellery, accessories, art, homeware and vintage and second hand goods.

All products for sale meet the Community Eco Market’s strict environmental policy, guaranteeing shoppers can purchase unique creations without straining their wallets or the earth’s resources, according to the organisers.

They warned visitors to bring reusable bags or purchase an eco-friendly cloth bag at the market to ensure the market is single-use plastic free.

The proceeds from the event will be donated to Education for Nature Việt Nam, an organisation which investigates wildlife crimes in Việt Nam.

The market will open from 9am to 1pm at the Green Shoot International School at 414/7 Cửa Đại Road. — VNS
