live green
be an eco-hero
be the change
Adult participants will discover locally-focused practical opportunities to live, work, and play more softly on the earth as they make the switch to a greener lifestyle.
This workshop for children includes two topics to choose from: forests as the “lungs of the earth” highlighting their vital role and how they can take action to improve local biodiversity, or a second option highlighting how growing and eating local produce reduces food miles benefiting the health of the environment.
This workshop for youth will provide an inspiring experience for participants to realize their ability to shape and transform the world in positive ways, through the sharing of empowering environmental change-maker stories and examples.
Thank you to the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for making our Eco-Workshop series possible!
