Join a relaxed community conversation exploring the idea that there is no “away” when it comes to waste, and what it really means when we say “throw it away”. Facilitated by members of the local PECWRAG group, this session will encourage honest discussion about consumption, waste and responsibility.

Make your Plastic Free July commitment to use fewer plastic bin liners. How? Come and learn how to fold your own from old newspaper. It’s Plastic Free July, which means it’s time to look around your home and ask some hard questions. Take the bin liner, for instance. That sad little plastic bag doing one job before heading straight to landfill…we can do better. And why spend money on compostable bin liners for your organics when you can make your own? In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to fold newspaper into sturdy, compostable bin liners that actually work. It takes less than ten minutes to learn, which means you’ll have plenty of time to feel very smug about your life choices for the rest of the month. Come, fold, and leave whenever you’re done (hopefully with a bunch of bin liners to take away). No origami experience required. Places are limited. Grab a ticket before they’re gone. ($5)
