Beyond Recycling: Real-Life Journeys in Reuse & Reduce

How do everyday people move beyond recycling and into a truly low-waste lifestyle?

Join three Volunteer Recycling Ambassadors—each from a different walk of life—as they share their personal journeys of reducing waste by focusing on reuse, repair, and re-thinking. Attendees will hear real stories and get practical tips that anyone can use.

Presenters include a single professional using minimalist living and creative reuse in a small space; a family making low-waste choices part of their everyday values; and a retired couple who grow, preserve, repair, and compost—showing how small choices add up.

Attendees will get real-life tips to reduce waste at home, a chance to ask questions and share their own ideas, and inspiration and tools to start or deepen their own low-waste journey.

Great for individuals, families, educators, and anyone curious about practical ways to reduce waste.
