About this event

  • 2 hours

Join us for the fifth in a series of exciting events dedicated to sustainability in Ottawa! At Coffee Houses on Sustainability - Zero-Waste Living, we'll dive into how to minimize our waste and live more lightly on the Earth. We’ll be exchanging easy tips on reducing food waste, saying no to single-use food packaging, making responsible clothing choices, sharing and repairing household goods, and how to stop building materials waste from ending up in landfills. Get ready to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from knowledgeable neighbours who have already made sustainable choices.

There will be a display of books on the circular economy from the Ottawa Public Library as well as from other environmentally minded organizations.
