European Week for Waste Reduction in Fogars de la Selva

Come and enjoy the European Week for Waste Prevention in Fogars de la Selva!

Current levels of consumption, often associated with high levels of waste, are causing serious degradation of ecosystems around the world. The effects are already being felt, including in the form of climate change, and there is no time left - we must act! But what can we do to contribute?

The morning theme is starting: “Fogars without waste!”. The day will start with a popular forest clean-up, followed by a dissection of the collected waste. The waste will be identified and counted to see which are the most common and improvement actions will be proposed that will be transferred to the relevant administration.

After a hearty breakfast for all the volunteers, the talk “Reducing waste as a family” will offer practical advice to apply at home. Next, a Furoshiki workshop will show how to wrap gifts with fabric, a very useful alternative to reduce paper consumption, especially now that Christmas is approaching.

The event will take place on Sunday 17 November at 9am at the Museo de la Pagesia in Fogars de la Selva. Sign up quickly! All the information is available on the attached poster. Remember that places are limited and you can sign up until 15 November.

Don't miss it!
