ADOPTING A ZERO-WASTE LIFESTYLE Mon. 11/18   6:30-8pm

Posted on by

By adopting a zero-waste or voluntary simplicity lifestyle, you not only help the environment by taking waste prevention to the max, but you will also feel good. Simple living enables you to focus on experiences rather than things. Additionally, choosing to not purchase an item (by buying used, or going without) saves all of the energy that goes into producing that item in the first place. This workshop will look at strategies and tips individuals and families can adopt to reduce their waste output by cultivating more fulfilling and mindful lifestyles when it comes to protecting the planet.
