Julie DesChamps, founder and chair, Waste Free Greenwich, and a panel of experts will present “The Zero Waste Home: Practical Steps for Sustainable Living,” via Zoom on Tuesday, June 16, at 7 pm. This program will help you transform your household habits into sustainable practices. Cosponsored by Perrot Memorial Library and Waste Free Greenwich, this collaborative webinar will offer a comprehensive guide to a zero-waste lifestyle, covering everything from smart shopping and textile longevity to mindful eating and expert recycling.
The program will highlight Perrot’s innovative Library of Things, a collection of borrowable tools, technology, and gadgets that promotes a “borrow instead of buy” philosophy to reduce waste and save space. Complementing this resource, a series of four expert-led sessions will provide actionable strategies for every room in the house:
Conscious Consumers, Substitutions, and Waste: Maggie Clayton will share how to harness your purchasing power to phase out plastics and transition to less toxic, waste-free alternatives.
Repair, Refresh, Rewear: Meg Hadley Zimmerman will demonstrate simple techniques to alter and mend clothing, helping you extend the life of your wardrobe and combat textile waste.
Even in the Kitchen, You Can Make a Difference: Registered dietitian-nutritionist Janet Levine will examine the link between our food choices and the environment, offering practical tips for a more sustainable kitchen.
Ask the Waste Wizard: Recycle Right: Julie DesChamps will help you master the art of sorting to ensure your recycling efforts are as effective as possible.
