In the same way Greta Thunberg sparked a school climate movement by sitting outside Swedish parliament with a banner, two Kiwi women have started their campaign against single-use packaging with a small stall outside a refill store near Nelson.
 

Abbie Tebbutt, marketing manager of local beverage company Chia Sisters, was offering fruit juices on tap in front of the GoodFor store in Appleby near Nelson on Sunday.

Beside her, Pic's Peanut Butter brand manager, Kate Robertson, had $20 glass jars of peanut butter, that consumers could bring back clean and refill for $15.
 

The pop-up stall was their “first stab” at growing the Refill Revolution campaign they developed with former Pic's employee, Caitlin Attenburrow, which launched last month, aimed at shifting consumer, retailer and business behaviour towards refilling nationwide.
