ZSign up: registration form – zero-waste festive celebrations + DIY bath bombs
The festive season is a time full of joy, warmth and closeness with family and friends.
It’s also a time when we give each other presents and prepare delicious meals.
Unfortunately, the traditional way of celebrating these holidays generates a lot of waste – plastic decorations, single-use packaging and excess food that ends up being thrown away.
Meanwhile, help is at hand zero waste – a philosophy that focuses on minimising waste and a conscious approach to consumption.
In the spirit of this idea, the festive season can be not only joyful, but also more sustainable. Join us for a talk on organising zero-waste celebrations!
We’ll be sharing some practical ideas with you on:
– how to reduce waste during the festive season,
– how to make eco-friendly decorations,
– how to wrap your own presents, which not only look beautiful, but also do not generate waste,
– how to plan your shopping, to avoid wasting food and make use of leftovers in the kitchen.
What’s more, we’ll be showing you a creative idea for a Christmas present – DIY bath bombs!
Homemade bath bombs made from natural ingredients are an excellent alternative to cosmetics in plastic packaging.
DIY baubles are a great way to create an original, personalised gift, which is sure to surprise the recipient – whatever their gender!
What’s more, it’s a brilliant opportunity to relax, take some time for yourself and do something special for the festive season. Gentlemen, don’t worry – this is for you too! Homemade bath bombs are a great way to surprise a loved one or simply to pamper your own body and mind after a hard day. Why not give it a go? It’s actually easier than it looks!
