Sat 29 Jan, 1pm: STROUD District ACTION on Plastic volunteers MEETING
Come and join our monthly meeting at Atelier Stroud. This month we will look at how to shop unpackaged: where and how to shop in your area, a basic zero waste shopping kit, budgets, how to store loose food at home and more. We overlap with the repair cafe at Atelier Stroud, an excellent opportunity to find out more about this brilliant initiative too.
