Are you interested in joining a new Boomerang Bags community?

Can you sew a straight line or use an iron? Do you have fabric you can donate? Do you want to help prevent used fabric going to landfill and being part of the circular economy?

Join the volunteers of Toronto Sustainable Neighbourhood Group for a social sewing morning at the Toronto Library. We’ll be making bags from rescued fabric to share with others.

Going Circular film screening

Wednesday 17 May, 6-8pm

Landcare and Sustainable Living Centre, umali-barai-ku, 80 Toronto Road, Booragul

Get together with Sustainable Neighbourhood volunteers and other community members to celebrate National Volunteer Week with a free screening of Going Circular.
Going Circular is a film about hope from the producers of My Octopus Teacher. It tells the stories of four visionaries – 102-year-old inventor Dr. James Lovelock, biomimicry biologist Janine Benyus, designer Arthur Huang, and financier John Fullerton–whose extraordinary experiences change the way we think about humanity’s future.

Each of their stories helps us reassess what our food, our cities, our financial system and our fashion industry could look like if we transitioned to a circular system where everything is reused and nothing goes to waste.

Presented by the Warners Bay Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group, and the Munibung Hill Conservation Society, with support from the Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance and Lake Macquarie City Council.

Bookings essential at events.humanitix.com/going-circular-film-screening.
