How living sustainably can save you money Learn practical ways to live sustainably & save money through simple habits across food, fashion, and everyday living and reduce your bills
About this Event

Sustainability is often marketed as expensive - organic groceries, eco brands, “green” swaps that cost more than the regular ones.

But the truth is: living sustainably can actually save you money.

Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop with Cass from @ConsciousCass where we explore how small shifts in everyday habits can reduce waste and lower your spending.

Together we’ll explore sustainability across food, cleaning, and fashion, with tips that actually work for real life - especially if you live in a small Toronto condo.

You’ll learn:

  • How to shop sustainably (and make better use of what you already own)
  • Why fast fashion often ends up costing more
  • Easy ways to reduce electricity, water, and laundry costs
  • Practical ways to reduce food waste and build a low-waste kitchen
  • 5 simple habits that help you live more sustainably without spending more

🌿 Hands-on activity:
Upcycle a container from home into a mini planter using seed bombs - a small sustainable project you can take home ✨

📍 What’s included in your ticket:

  • Interactive sustainability workshop with Cassandra from ConsciousCass
  • DIY upcycled planter activity 🌱
  • Seed bomb plants to take home
  • A curated Toronto sustainability resource guide (stores, apps, tools & tips)

Leave with practical ideas, local resources, and small habits that make sustainable living feel doable while saving money!

This workshop is open to women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
