Online, November 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Houston Re-Market in Midtown Supports Shopping, Swapping, Recycling and appreciation of local environment and community.

The Houston Re-Market is a monthly market that makes it fun and easy to be a responsible consumer. The market features vendors who make goods utilizing sustainable practices, a free swap, a recycling drop-off, fresh food, and live local entertainment.

WHAT:
The monthly Houston Re-market features approximately fifteen vendors whose goods and products range from dog treats to art to couture fashion. All vendors participating in the market use sustainable practices in their craft including the use of local products as well as reused and recycled materials.

The market features a free swap in which members of the community can bring their unwanted, gently used clothing, functioning small electronics, household items, etc and take something "new" home with them. All items remaining at the end of the market will be donated to local shelters including the Bush Cares Project.

Visitors to the Re-Market can bring their household recycling including paper, cardboard, aluminum, tin, glass, and plastics 1-5 & & for recycling. Additionally, fresh, local food will be cooking up on the grill including meat, veggie, and vegan options. While swapping, shopping, and recycling, at the Re-Market, live entertainment will be provided by groups including Girls With Guitars, James Devall, BGK, Musician, and DJ Stephanie Saint Sanchez.
