About Eco Education & Upcycling Adventures:
Attendees will learn about:

  • How local college students are engaging in the community

  • How to turn old socks, skis, and climbing gear into useful items! 

  • How other people in the community need/want to reduce waste

After their presentation, there will be discussions around how we can reduce waste, barriers we may face when it comes to waste reduction, and what waste reduction programs, initiative, events & services you want to see in our community!
