When it comes to saving the planet, every little bit helps.
Local social service organisation Community Networks Franklin believes small steps really
do make a difference.
That’s why it’s hosting the fifth Little Green Expo on March 7. Franklin’s only free
sustainable living expo tries to show people how they can contribute to sustainability,
encourage personal responsibility, showcase steps to a sustainable future, and provide
information and practical steps to help tackle environmental problems.
Organisers said it aims to show what can be achieved in the home, garden and workplace
with waste, food, clothes, upcycling, recycling, repurposing, electricity and more.
The expo features information exhibits and displays, plus presentations and activities for
children. Entry is free, as are all presentations and activities.
Among the features this year will be a presentation on the impact of climate change on the
land, ideas for getting rid of predators and pests like rats, a workshop on turning recycled wood into chopping boards, and a crop swap stall where people can bring excess produce from their garden and swap it with others to discourage waste.
And the children haven’t been forgotten – among other kids’ activities, there’ll be a bouncy
castle, face-painting and a school stall selling worm tea.
