The average Australia household increases its waste output by around 30 per cent during the festive season, which puts a bit of a tarnish on celebrations. So how can you reduce your waste without missing out on the traditions you love, or creating a stack more work for yourself?

This free face-to-face info-packed presentation covers ways to reduce waste during festive seasons and festive season events. Covering topics such as food preparation and recipe ideas; sourcing and making low-waste, eco-friendly gift ideas; clever decorating ideas using upcycled or natural materials; alternatives to gift wrapping paper; managing waste at events or gatherings and more!
