Come and hear from Chris Ennis from CERES Fair Food and Fair Wood and find out what they have been doing to reduce waste, single use plastics, running costs and improve their environmental sustainability. You will also hear from Mahira Sobral, from Bridge Darebin and coordinator of the Moon Rabbit Bulk Foods Collective. Mahira has been instrumental in setting up a bulk food program to reduce packaging waste whilst delivering affordable sustainable food to residents.
Via video, you will also hear from other local business leaders about the benefits and connections reducing waste has brought them.
