Event Follow-Up
Thank you to all the Waste Reduction Warriors that attended the work shop. You can download some of the handouts we spoke about:
Reducing waste with MEAL PLANNING
Produce Storage tips from EcologyCenter.org
Food Rescue Recipes to use up what you already have in your fridge
The weight of climate change and pollution is not something any one of us can carry on our individual shoulders. It needs to be a team effort with each of us doing what we can, when we can. Don’t underestimate the cumulative benefit of small changes, or simple substitutions.
In the spirit of Waste Reduction Week, Spud.ca will be hosting a workshop where you can take a look in my home and see my version of Low Waste in “real life”.
I am not doing it all “right” or probably even halfway there - but I do know that my attempts at low-waste living are worth the effort, and often really no effort at all. This is no Pinterest-perfect or Instagram-worthy setting - this is a single mom of 3 boys, an entrepreneur and design-challenged zero-waste wannabe that has been trying things out for the past decade. And a few things have worked out really well. I believe I have tricks and lessons learned that will help you get further faster in your waste reduction endeavours.
I hope to send you away inspired with some new ideas for reasonable actions or choices you can incorporate in your own home, your own way, into your own busy life.
Can’t wait to share :)
