The Staples Zero Waste Committee (ZWC) is hosting our second sustainable holiday fair at Staples High School in Westport, CT this coming fall. Our mission is to make the holidays a little more sustainable by spreading holiday cheer! The EcoFest - Westport's Sustainable Holiday Fair has something for every occasion and holiday. The fair also includes food, kids crafts, gifts to buy, a thrift store, and even more. If you're interested in supporting local sustainability initiatives or want to check out some sustainable gift options for the holidays, stop by! We had 25+ vendors last year.
'22-23 YEAR IN REVIEW: TO A GREAT YEAR OF SUSTAINABILITY AT STAPLES
The club has continued making sustainable efforts with commitment towards reducing waste and cleaning the earth of existing garbage. We started off the year with a school thrift store in the first quarter. In November, we hosted our first annual Holiday Green Festival, with over 25 sustainable vendors for holiday shopping! We continued the year with a Valentine's Day thrift store and geared up for Earth Week... The week of April 22nd, we hosted a quarterly in-school thrift store, garbage cleanup around the school, and a garbage cleanup of the River Walk in Downtown Westport. It was a successful year of making Westport a greener place!
