SUMMARY:Creatively Minimize Holiday Waste
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that during the holiday season (mid-November – New Year)\, landfill waste increases by over 25%? Let’s creatively address this issue and how to mitigate this waste during this virtual presentation. \nWhat to Expect\nBetween Thanksgiving hostess gifts\, Hanukkah\, Christmas\, New Year’s parties\, and more\, this time of year is filled with glittery and glossy wrapping paper\, single-use plastic bags\, and synthetic ribbons. This zoom presentation will address the issue\, include some landfill waste statistics special for the holiday season\, touch on who to contact in your township or municipality with recycling questions\, and go over several ways to creatively minimize holiday waste through gift wrapping methods such as Furoshiki\, Origami\, and compostable papers and designs! There will be time for questions all throughout the presentation. Registrants will receive the zoom link the morning of the presentation to the email used for registration (check spam folders if you have not received it and email any questions to mjacobs@theartofecology). \nDetails\nDate & Time: November 19th\, 7pm \nLocation: Virtual via Zoom. \nTo Register: $10 Fee.

SUMMARY:Festive Fun: Sustainable Jewelry Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Dazzle and start many eco-conversations this holiday season! Let’s combat single-use plastics with this seasonal Sustainable Jewelry workshop\, where participants can help reduce the amount of waste entering our landfills this winter by creating unique\, handcrafted earrings or pendants. \nWhat to Expect:\nDid you know that #6 (Polystyrene\, often seen in takeout containers) is cheap and easy to make\, yet very difficult to recycle? Less than 5% can be recovered. And\, during the holiday season (between Thanksgiving and New Year)\, landfill waste increases by over 25%! Giving #6 plastic new life helps reduce waste. But what can we make with it? Beautiful\, wearable art that stands out as conversation pieces and brings a bit of whimsy to everyday life. Each piece of art serves as a conversation starter about the importance of sustainability for us\, ecosystems\, and wildlife we live with.\n\nLearn more about recycling\, sustainability\, who to contact in your township/municipality with questions\, and the importance of reducing single-use plastics\, all while designing\, creating\, and taking home your own piece of hand-crafted jewelry or keyring accessory. Each participant will have the opportunity to make 2 sets of earrings\, pendants\, or keychains and discover more about the process of giving new life to #6 plastics at home. Templates for holly boughs\, poinsettias\, snowflakes\, winter birds\, and more will be provided\, however participants may create any designs they wish!\nAll materials are provided\, so the only thing left to bring is your imagination!\n\nDetails:\nDate/Time: December 19th\, 10-11:30am\nLocation: Chester County Art Association (CCAA)\, West Chester\nAdmission/Registration: $50\, Register HERE
