Reducing Our Household Rubbish: The Zero Waste Approach

Exchange Christchurch - XCHC is pleased to host an evening session on zero waste living.

Join Hannah Blumhardt and Liam Prince, the No-Waste Nomads behindThe Rubbish Trip for an introduction to the practicalities and philosophy of waste reduction. Drawing on their own research and over three years of experience living zero waste, Hannah and Liam will guide you through the whys and the hows of life without a rubbish bin, including:

- What is the zero waste movement? Why is waste reduction important?

- How zero waste principles can revolutionise your perspectives on living and lifestyle, beyond your rubbish bin.

- Innovative examples of waste minimisation policy, practice and thinking from around the globe, and how these might inform community-level waste reduction.

- Tips for how you can reduce the rubbish in your life (including fun DIY household products, cosmetics, and other life hacks).

This event is free - everyone is welcome. Optional koha to go towards XCHC. The XCHC cafe will be open, serving drinks and light food, for those who'd like to purchase refreshments.

This talk is part of The Rubbish Trip's travelling project, taking the zero waste message around Aotearoa New Zealand. Follow them on Facebook for updates and upcoming events around the country!
