Join us for a series on sustainability with Sandy Gunderson from the Becker County Environmental Services. This month we will be focusing on how to create less waste.

Start out the new year right by moving towards zero waste! Learn about easy steps you can take to shrink your waste, and why making less waste makes the planet a better place for everyone. Topics include recycling, composting food waste, reducing packaging, waste diversion, reusable products and more. We will also be providing a make and take dry shampoo. This DIY dry shampoo will have no toxins and will be in reusable packaging that will leave a lasting positive impression on our environment. All supplies are provided.

This is part of our Sustainability 101 series that will feature a different topic on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. through December.
