The Bruce Museum Seaside Center in partnership with Waste Free Greenwich will host ‘Rethink Waste Day & Textile Drive’ on Saturday, September 2, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, at Tod’s Point.
While plastic production has soared in the past several decades, only a small fraction of this plastic is actually recycled, or it’s used just once before landfilling or incinerating.
The program is an opportunity to learn how to reduce our impact on the environment and breathe new life into would-be wasted items. Participants can discover how to reduce reliance on single-use plastics and cut waste through interactive education stations where they can learn helpful tips and tricks, create upcycled arts and crafts, and engage in other family (and planet) friendly activities.
Attendees are encouraged to bring unwanted textiles to be repurposed for a special back-to-school project, using old shirts, linens and more to decorate the front of notebooks, which will be donated to students in need.
The event will be held at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point Park. Complimentary park admission for participation in this program.
