December is a time for gifts of all kinds to be flying off the shelves in excitement and good intention. The unfortunate reality of the season, is that the rapid flux of items out of stores is balanced by a rapid flux of items into a pile outside of our own city. It takes some conscientious thinking, but anyone can get a smarter, more creative, more unique gifter.
Join WNCA on Thursday, Dec. 11 for a tour designed for rethinking seasonal consumerism. We will get a visual of the amount of waste we create as a community at the landfill and recycling center, and finish at Common Ground Upcycle Emporium and Resource Center, where we will learn about our options in keeping our goods out of the landfill, and in creating new treasures for our friends and family. There will be a chance to shop for gifts at the end of the tour.
Please wear warm clothing, and bring water and snacks if you wish. Homemade granola bars will be provided. We will begin at 10:00AM and end around 1:00PM. This tour is FREE and ALL AGES are welcome.
