Are you worried about the lasting effects of single use plastic products, but feel powerless to do anything to stop it? Join us for a workshop focused on moving toward a plastic-free lifestyle. Topics covered will include tips on how to identify and eliminate single use plastic, reduce the excess plastic in your life, strategies for shopping to avoid plastic, and how to make do-it-yourself cleaning supplies. Participants will each bring home a reusable container of home-made cleaning solution.

Tal Gregory has been working on various ways to reduce his plastic use ever since he realized that history, in the tradition of using one word to designate a historical period (Stone Age, Bronze Age), will look back on our time as the Plastic Age. The sooner the plastic age ends, the happier he will be.
