Plastic-free Life Workshop
This workshop looks at the ways to eliminate plastic from our lives by suggesting alternatives to common products and demonstrating how to make safe, beeswax-infused food wraps.
Green Cleaning Workshop
Did you know that instead of using harmful store bought cleaning chemicals you can use natural, biodegradable substances as cleaning aids to make your home clean and safe to be in? The good news is most of these natural ingredients are already in your pantry so you will also be reducing waste and saving money.
Meal Planning and Food Waste Avoidance Workshop
Meal planning is a great way to reduce food waste by only buying what you need. This is especially important in the lead up to Christmas which is traditionally one of the most wasteful times of the year.
Living with Less Workshop
Learn how to declutter, organise, sustainably eliminate and successfully donate unnecessary clutter.
