Preserving Our Shared Future
By sharing knowledge and resources we can help protect our environment, preserving our future for generations to come. Sharing clothing, tools, household goods, or knowledge passed down through generations, supports waste reduction and encourages meaningful community connections. There are lots of ways to share our things and our knowledge! Visit local libraries, attend a repair workshop, teach a family member how to cook a favourite meal, or check out your municipality’s loaning programs. Watch our video below about the importance of sharing intergenerational knowledge and skills to help us reduce our environmental impact.
About Waste Reduction Week & Circular Economy Month
For over 20 years, Divert NS has been celebrating Waste Reduction Week in Canada. Waste Reduction Week happens each year in October during Circular Economy Month. By focusing our efforts on extending the life of our products and materials through swapping, sharing, thrifting, and repairing, we are reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill and contributing to the circular economy.
