A fundamental part of what we do here at Waste Less Living is education on waste management and the problems surrounding it. One way we work to get out our knowledge is through our Eco-Education, or Eco-Ed, parties. We bring together a group of people and have a discussion about the environmental impacts of trash and the value of composting.
This past weekend, I hosted my first Eco-Ed party. During my preparation for this momentous event, I was nervous. I am comfortable speaking in front a group of people, but you may be surprised to hear that people don’t always enjoy the topic of trash. After I gave my spiel, the mood was a little dim. (Not because my presentation was so boring, but because there is a lot about trash that people just don’t know.) However, spirits picked up when we started talking about composting. There are many misconceptions about composting: it smells, it is dirty, it is too hard to incorporate it into your life. (FYI, all false) In the end, my party was successful. One woman even emailed me and told me she started her own compost pile in her backyard! YES! Hopefully, there will be more Eco-Ed parties in my future. Think of all the compost piles just waiting to be built.
