Waste Reduction and Recycling Education

We are living in a waste crisis, but there is no silver bullet solution. In this presentation, you will learn how to reduce your waste and live a more sustainable lifestyle. You will also learn the ins and outs of recycling in our region, and why recycling should be considered a last resort. You also have the option to include a Waste Audit activity, where we will go through the waste produced in your building and learn what can and cannot be recycled. This is the perfect presentation for a classroom, workplace, or organization looking to improve their waste habits. The optional Waste Audit activity works best with up to 20 people, and we will ask that you set aside your waste (garbage and recycling only, no organics) for two weeks prior to the workshop.

Composting

Composting is a simple way to reduce your curbside trash by as much as 30%, provide a great source of natural fertilizer for your lawn and garden, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., the warming of our planet!). During this presentation, you'll learn the basics of both indoor (vermicomposting) and backyard composting, including all the troubleshooting, tips, and tricks you'll need.

Beeswax Wrap Workshop

Let's face it - plastics are major environmental concern. Plastics are filling our waterways, landscapes and landfills. Recycling is not the answer. Join this presentation to learn about our plastic habits and what actions you can do at home. We finish with a step-by-step DIY beeswax wrap workshop!

Re-Wilding for Wellness Forest Therapy

Forest Therapy; also known as Forest Bathing and Shinrin-Yoku, is an evidence-based therapeutic practice that connects people to forest environments through gentle, sensory-based invitations. 

This practice typically runs for 2-4 hours and consists of a series of invitations following a standard flow model, which takes place in a forest, or another healing natural environment. Forest Therapy can be seen as a gateway practice into ‘re-wilding' ourselves- nourishing us back to remembering our connection with the living landscape. These guided walks are subject to a different fee rate so please contact erin@ecosuperior.org/807 624 2143 for more information.
