Did you know the average Australian household throws away around $2,500 worth of food each year? And up to 40% of the general waste bin is food — most of it avoidable. This hands-on, practical workshop helps participants identify the most common causes of household food waste, learn smarter storage techniques, meal planning hacks, and leftover reuse ideas, understand the environmental and financial impact of wasted food, and walk away with real-life recipes, tips, and a simple food waste tracker for home use. Led by Shark — a self-confessed leftover masterchef and food waste ninja — this session features live examples from her own kitchen, plus stories from past projects like rescuing 220kg of surplus donuts and transforming them into a craft beer.

Join renowned regenerative practitioner Mark Tupman from Productive Ecology for an engaging, practical workshop on the art and science of composting.

Participants will learn to create a simple, effective multi-purpose cleaner or home spray while exploring what truly works against common viruses and bacteria. We’ll also discuss how toxic chemicals impact health and ways to improve home life through better air quality and thermal insulation. By adopting eco-friendly practices, participants can create healthier, more comfortable living spaces. Each participant will take home a 500ml bottle of their DIY cleaner or spray, along with practical tools to make their homes more sustainable.
