On Tuesday, June 16 at 7pm, Waste Free Greenwich teams up with Perrot Memorial Library for an evening dedicated to transforming your household habits into sustainable practices. This collaborative webinar offers a comprehensive guide to a zero-waste lifestyle, covering everything from smart shopping and textile longevity to mindful eating and expert recycling.
The program highlights the library’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.
