Workshop Themes
I’m eating sustainably
From the farm to our tables, the way we eat has a major impact on our health and the planet. People are often unaware of the consequences of the way they eat or don’t know where to start to make an effort. But don’t worry! This conference provides an introduction to sustainable eating and offers concrete solutions to help everyone make more informed choices. After all, eating means voting with your dollars! Doing your part for the planet can start with becoming well informed and equipped with the right tools so you can make good food choices and fight food waste.
Workshop available in English and in French.
I’m adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle
The current environmental issues and limitations of our planet sometimes lead us to believe that there’s nothing we can do on an individual level. But that’s not true! This workshop provides concrete, affordable solutions to help people reduce their environmental impact on a daily basis. Doing your part for the planet can start with reducing at the source by fighting food waste, reducing your personal waste, extending the useful life of your belongings and putting other cost-effective, eco-friendly tricks into use.
Workshop available in English and French.
I’m reducing food waste
It’s time to move away from the limp vegetables and forgotten leftovers at the bottom of your fridge, they’re a thing from the past! From your grocery list to your storing and cooking habits, discover all the easy tricks you can use to waste as little as possible. This participatory workshop gives everyone the opportunity to share their positive successes, while offering the keys to understanding how to reduce food waste, one step at a time.

Saving money and the environment: it starts at home!
Making your home eco-friendly is also economical! There's a lot we can do, whether we're tenants or homeowners. Discover best practices and reduce your bills without losing comfort. Whether it's energy consumption, your material footprint or water consumption, this participatory workshop will provide you with concrete, easy-to-follow tips and economical solutions.

I love my garbage but I'm leaving it!
What happens to our waste once it's thrown into the bin? What roles do recycling and composting play in the fight against climate change? How can we reduce our waste and lessen our daily impact? This workshop provides an introduction to these issues, while demystifying our systems for sorting and recovering residual materials. We will present concrete, fun solutions accessible to all, along with tools for taking action.
Workshop available in French and English only in Quebec.
Understanding why action matters
We hear a lot about climate change… but do we truly understand the mechanisms that are transforming our planet? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll break down the scientific foundations of climate change—free of jargon—to grasp the real-world impacts of these disruptions. Through an open, experience-based discussion, we’ll identify together the practical levers of action available to us, both individually and collectively. This workshop offers concrete ways to rekindle hope and take meaningful action toward a more resilient future.
Our brand-new workshop, available in both French and English, starting January 1, 2026. Book your session now!
