Join Sarah Robertson-Barnes on Monday, October 7 at 7PM via Zoom for suggestions on how to lower your ecological footprint this holiday season. This is a great discussion for whether you have kids of your own, kids in your life, or love being a kid yourself during the holidays!
Embracing the rhythms of winter is key to creating eco-conscious holiday traditions. Rather than getting carried away by the holiday rush, use this time as an opportunity to create the kind of holiday season you truly want – one focused on the magic of family and togetherness instead of stuff. A low waste holiday season is possible.
Sarah Robertson-Barnes, founder of the Sustainable in the Suburbs blog, is a freelance writer, educator, and consultant. She lives with her husband, two kids, and rescue dog outside of Toronto, Ontario. Sustainable in the Suburbs is a resource for living low waste with kids in a culture of convenience.
