About this session
A practical workshop on redesigning everyday routines to use less, at home and at work.
Participants trace where waste enters familiar routines, compare reusable, refillable, repair and sharing options, test common packaging claims and redesign one routine around lower material use.
The focus is on better routines, not perfect products. Workplace ideas are kept separate from changes that need someone else’s approval.
