Lighten Your Footprint Workshop

Have you wondered what it means to be sustainable or how you might transition to a more sustainable way of living. What ways are you inspired to make changes in your lifestyle, your neighborhood, workplace or the Houston area that offer more care for the earth, care for people and creates community? Through storytelling of active projects in the Houston area, we will discuss and work together on ideas for projects, large or small that you may have envisioned. We will share principles and ways of thinking through how to bring your goals to fruition through thoughtful design principles and concepts. This workshop is intended to empower you to go forward with your ideas of how to live more sustainably.

Instructors are from varied backgrounds of environmental activism, permaculture designers, equal rights activism, leaders in the local food community, vegetable and fruit tree gardening educators, urban farms and community gardens development and more.
