as a volunteer there, i participated in a DIY sustainability workshop over the weekend. we got to learn how to create environmentally sustainable alternatives to common household products, including reusable grocery bags, all-purpose cleaners, beeswax food wraps, homemade toothpastes and lip balms, and shampoo bars. many of these things can be made with ingredients u already have in yr house.
the intent was to use us as a test market for a larger rollout to guests during the urban ocean festival. hopefully this happens b/c it was such a fun thing to do to make these items on our own, while learning why it’s important to do so. if u get a chance to go, i highly recommend it.
