Our education team just celebrated the end of our first series of community workshops! by hosting a Zero Waste Summit!
The Zero Waste Summit, a culmination of our Sustainable Living Series, brought together participants from throughout San Diego County to learn the ins and outs of going zero waste. At the Summit, participants explored Ocean Knoll Farm, while exchanging ideas for incorporating zero waste practices into their everyday lives. With help from The City of Encinitas, Jimbo’s, the Solana Center, Healthy Day Partners, and ILACSD, workshop goers went home with zero waste toolkits to jumpstart a more eco-conscious lifestyle. Take a closer look at how the event unfolded!
Participants were given the opportunity to meander through Ocean Knoll Farm, which provides fresh produce for local Encinitas school lunches, and check out the incredible work of Healthy Day Partners.
Thank you to Healthy Day Partners for providing an incredible space for our workshops at Ocean Knoll Farm!
Host a swap & shop at your office or your next get together with friends and family!
Participants discussed tips and tricks for going zero waste with experts from The City of Encinitas, Healthy Day Partners, ILACSD, The Solana Center, and Jimbo’s. Each booth focused on a specific zero waste topic including recipes for natural cleaners, the importance and simplicity of at-home composting, the personal and environmental benefits of purchasing local and organic produce, and were provided reusable containers and bags for restaurant left-overs and grocery shopping.
At the summit, participants visited our partner booths to get zero waste tips, tricks and giveaways!
The speaker panel that included representatives from The City of Encinitas, EDCO, Snooze Eatery, and Kitchens for Good, provided participants with valuable information, advice, and personal experiences to build the foundation for starting a zero waste lifestyle.
Participants enjoyed letting their creativity shine as they repurposed glass bottles into decorative vases and hummingbird feeders.
Repurposing is a great way to keep everyday items out of the landfill. Wine bottles become decor, or an old toy could become a planter.
Workshop goers were given the opportunity to enter a free raffle where they had the chance to win compost bins and a variety of reusable items including reusable produce bags, travel utensils, water bottles, metal straws, coffee thermoses, and more!
All of our participants walked away with at least one new tool to start on their way to zero waste!
A huge thank you goes out to all of our participants and partners who made the Sustainable Living Series such a success!
