“Green” your celebrations – enrich your life – live sustainably!

See the motivating presentation by Rod Muir of the Sierra Club Canada about Waste Diversion - the quick, cheap, and yes easy-means to achieving Sustainability!

Then, join workshops on smart and practical approaches to events, celebrations and gift giving! This ecofriendly event is held at the Milton District High School Theatre on Thursday, October 20th, 6:30-9:00 pm. Refreshments will be served.

Hear-about and participate-in workshops on family, cultural and public celebrations and household or other waste issues to reduce your “footprint” and sustain the earth’s resources.

You will take away from this event, lots of fun and hands-on ideas to making sustainable choices and activities a part of everyday life. This family friendly event is held with regard for all cultures.

Presented by Miltongreen Environmental Assoc. and MDHS Ecoclub in partnership with the Halton Environment Network and sponsored by an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant of Miltongreen.

Please bring clean gently-used (or new) PYJAMAS to donate to the Halton Women’s Place – all sizes are needed.

Sign-in at 6:30 pm when you arrive to receive your “door prize” tickets for cool items donated by the handful of this event’s theme-based vendors.

Could you elaborate on that?

Thank you for asking.

Our goal is to get people thinking about ways to reduce the waste at various celebrations, including birthdays, special holidays like Christmas and other events.

We will start with an inspiring speaker: Rod Muir who will talk about Sustainability and Waste Diversion.

This will be followed by short workshops. These are intended to provide some ideas but, in particular, solicit YOUR ideas. We will then compile what we learned and pass it on.

One workshop station will deal with gift ideas that are not wasteful, including reuse, regifting, useful gifts to recipient (e.g. perfumes that are liked), avoiding cheap, thrown away articles and so on.

Another workshop will provide suggestions on how to wrap gifts using repurposed items around the house such as wall paper, comic strips for kids presents etc...
