Waste-Less Living
Refuse. Reduce. Reuse. Repair. Repurpose.
This workshop goes beyond recycling to look at how waste is created in the first place, and how we can meaningfully reduce it. Using the full framework of refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and repurpose, we’ll explore practical strategies for working with what we already have and choosing more thoughtfully going forward.
The focus is on real-life systems and habits that fit everyday lives. Not perfection. Not guilt. We’ll share examples, learn from each other, and talk through options for homes, workplaces, and communities of different sizes and budgets.
You’ll leave with concrete ideas you can put into practice right away, and a clearer sense of how small, consistent choices can add up to less waste and more resilience.
All materials are included.
This workshop is eligible for use with a season pass.
Youth, under 18, may attend free with an adult (1 youth per adult)
