Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this lecture class:

Join us on November 14th at 7PM for a conversation on the Future of Sustainable Holidays, a deep dive into the latest tips on how to create a sustainable and impactful holiday season.

The holidays are typically accompanied by overconsumption and wasteful habits. Our panel will cover how you can gift and shop consciously, sustainable practices for meal planning and reducing waste. You’ll have an opportunity to network with like-minded people from the Be Social Change community, and walk away with a better understanding of how to simplify your holiday to reduce costs, stress, and waste.

Healthy + Sustainable Snacks Provided – Gluten-Free and Vegan Options Available.

We strive to make Be Social Change events zero waste – help us by bringing a reusable water bottle to the event.

THANK YOU TO OUR MAIN SPONSOR 

WARDROBE

Wardrobe is a peer-to-peer marketplace for the rental of high-end clothes and accessories. Think of them as a Rent the Runway – except peer-to-peer. There are billions of dollars worth of unused, great clothes sitting in our closet – Wardrobe lets you monetize on it in a safe and secure way. Wardrobe is the future of sustainable fashion as they do not carry any fast fashion and all dry-cleaning is done using the most sustainable cleaning method.

Membership to Wardrobe is free, but invite-only. Wardrobe would like to offer early access to the Be Social Changecommunity and a discount code of $50 for first-time users (basically a free rental). The credit can be claimed by the first 100 people on the platform using the code: BSC7.
