Build ecoBricks and community by hosting an ecoShop workshop. Participants will enjoy creating a useful ecoBrick from their trash while learning about and shopping for environmentally soothing products, like: handmade soaps, kitchen composters and microfiber filters.
I facilitate these ecoShop Workshops as a way to give back to a universe, and the humanity within it, who have given me so much throughout my lifetime. Please peruse my List of Groovy Life Gigs to learn more about me and why I have so much fun creating and helping others achieve a more regenerative lifestyle.
No purchase is necessary: however, a promise is. Participants will commit to one step in the right direction toward a more sustainable or regenerative lifestyle. They will, “do the Earth a Solid!”
An ecobrick is a plastic bottle packed with used plastic to a set density. They serve as reusable building blocks. Ecobricks can be used to produce various items, including furniture, garden walls and other structures. Ecobricks are produced primarily as a means of managing consumed plastic by sequestering it and containing it safely, by terminally reducing the net surface area of the packed plastic to effectively secure the plastic from degrading into toxins and microplastics. - Source Wikipedia
Sequester plastic from your personal wastestream in ecoBricks, which become useful in the community.

My years of teaching in the US in a Florida public school system prepared me well to then teach abroad in China as well as Mexico. The two year stints in each country were interrupted by an English Summer Camp experience in Karlovy Vari, the Czech Republic during 2019. My daughter and I are both so grateful we chose the global path less traveled.
I have held the job-of-a-lifetime several times, fostering in me a need to give back. Having recently returned to the US from teaching abroad, I look forward to bringing entertaining lessons in regenerative or sustainable lifestyles to small groups of people all around the world.
