The Earth Carers Course

NEVER LOOK AT A BIN THE SAME WAY AGAIN!

The life-changing Earth Carer course returns to the Town of Victoria Park, over 3 weeks and 5 sessions.*

Join Peg Davies on a humorous and thought-provoking journey through waste with talks, hands-on activities, videos and tours.

You'll be depressed, overwhelmed and empowered, often all at the same time, and ultimately inspired to live more lightly on the planet.

And yes, we will feed you!
