Food and Food Waste Learning Fair with Seattle WAC Community
What to expect: Do you ever feel overwhelmed trying to figure out how to have more climate impact? Join us at Gearhouse's Basecamp Cafe as our fellow members of the Seattle Women and Climate community share their bite-sized, actionable ideas for reducing food waste and eating more sustainably! If you would like to share your knowledge on a specific food/food waste action, please fill out our interest form here.
Rough timeline:
6:00-6:30 pm: Chat and settle in
6:30 - 7:00pm: Short (3-4 minute) presentations on each topic, followed by open mic time for ideas from the audience
7:00 - 7:45pm: visit presenters at their tables for deeper discussions.
Have ideas, but don't want to present? Bring your favorite vegetarian/vegan recipes, links to helpful gardening or food waste websites, or whatever other resources you think could benefit the community. We'll compile everything into a document and share it out in a future newsletter!
Who is invited?
This event is for those identifying as women or nonbinary. We occasionally have events for other friends and allies so if that is not how you identify, stay tuned for future events.
