Low Waste Living Class
Wish you knew more about living a low waste lifestyle?
New Pi's Board of Directors Vice President, Kelli Kennon-Lane is a low waste living enthusiast and did a presentation on everything we need to know to help us start living a low waste lifestyle. Here are a few things Kelli teaches us:
- The difference between degradable, biodegradable, and compostable materials
- What a circular mindset is and how we train ourselves to think that way
- Where to start and how to change our consumption habits
- Tips & examples for shopping low waste
-
How to bring others along with us on our low waste journey
“We don’t need 10% of people living 100% zero waste, we need 100% of people reducing their impact by 10%”
The live chat from the presentation can be found here. For questions or more information about low waste living, feel free to email Kelli at kelli@newpi.coop.
Thanks to the Hiawatha Public Library and Kelli for partnering with us on this very helpful and motivating presentation!
