Have you been interested in learning how to “Zero Waste” your home? How about finding ways to reduce your family’s food waste by shopping smarter, cooking better, and composting the food waste you create?
Green Oceanside has partnered with Agri Service Inc. to offer residents of Oceanside the opportunity to be part of a zero waste home/ backyard compost program. As a participant you will learn ways to implement sustainable practices into your home and everyday life. This workshop series will put your family on the path to zero waste, water efficiency, energy savings, and healthy living.
Participating residents and families will receive home sustainability kits valued at over $150 along with hands on training. During this 7-week program (February 18-April 1) you will be provided 3 workshops and active private support through a Love Your Planet community Facebook page.
Play a lead role in creating a Zero Waste community by becoming a Host Family! The first workshop is intended to take place in the “host” homes of our participants in order to foster a real life zero waste brainstorm session.
Hosts must be able to accommodate up to 10 participants in their home or backyard. City staff will support each home workshop and will provide speakers, educational materials, and light refreshments. If you are interested in signing up as a host, please list yourself as a host and participant.
