Sustainable Christmas

Macarthur Centre for Sustainable Living

Christmas can be an expensive time with lots of leftovers and waste! Come along to this workshop to get some great ideas on how to have a more Sustainable Christmas. MCSL &amp; Camden Boomerang Bags will cover:
Giftwrapping – learn about Furoshiki gift wrapping, the art of wrapping gifts with reusable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly cloth – it’s easy and beautiful. No sticky tape, single-use plastic or paper necessary. You can also use Boomerang Bags for wrapping gifts or as gifts.
Buying Gifts &amp; Alternative Gift Ideas– consider packaging when shopping and using reuseable shopping bags. There’ll also be a range of plastic tree items on display and available for sale including ONYA products, and locally made beeswax wraps &amp; preserves
Reduce Food &amp; Catering Waste – learn some great tips for reducing food waste and sourcing reuseable or biodegradable plates &amp; platters and other plastic free &amp; storage options 
How to dispose of Xmas Waste &amp; Leftovers – and when all the feasting &amp; celebrations are over, a reminder of how to deal with waste types &amp; recycling options
(If you have a scarf, bring it along to practice wrapping one of your Christmas gifts)
 
Come along for a fun afternoon! Afternoon tea provided.
