A workshop program for you and your organization
**New in 2024 EatOrToss and ZeroWasteInDC are teaming up to offer extended programming for offices and other organizations**
Whether you’re looking for a series of lunch-and-learn events or a half-day workshop, sustainability advisors Rachael Jackson of EatOrToss and Stephanie Miller, author of Zero Waste Living: The 80/20 Way, will guide your group through easy, but deliberate actions to lighten lighten their footprints.
Topics in the workshop series include:
- Slashing your food waste (Did you know that nearly 50 percent of food waste in the U.S. occurs in households?!?)
- Avoiding plastic packaging and replacing it with sustainable alternatives
- Making day-to-day decisions to reduce disposables and increase reusables
- Powerful tips on judgment-free ways to influence those around you
Stephanie and Rachael will take your team out of their routine and dig in on our individual powers to help the environment. Rachael will address food waste overall while also providing fun examples from EatOrToss.com that can help folks know when to err on the safe side and when “weird” food is still perfectly fine. Stephanie will open your eyes to the plastic all around us and how to drastically cut down on your plastic consumption and influence others to do the same. When it comes to daily strategies for living more sustainably, the duo will share easy wins as well as trickier challenges and will create space for open conversations about what works and what’s a struggle–because lightening our footprints is always a work in progress.
Depending on your group’s needs and the time available, Stephanie and Rachael can present during a half-day window or conduct a series of two to five lunchtime presentations.
