We are celebrating the publication of ‘Small Steps to Less Waste’ – Stories to Inspire Change’, published in 2021 by Stroud-based Hawthorn Press. The book tells the stories of 12 local people who found unique and wonderful ways to ditch the plastic, repurpose and mend clothes, run repair cafes and organise community workshops. Meet the author Claudi Williams, Stroud District Action on Plastic, whose family banished most plastics from their lives, and contributor Kath Childs, Atelier Stroud, who runs a community and makers space with an agenda for sustainability. We hope to spark lively discussion and will also demonstrate simple cleaning recipes from the book and show exhibits from some of the contributors.
