ABC’s War on Waste presenter Craig Reucassel has been announced as a special guest at this Saturday’s Ipswich Sustainable Living Festival at Tulmur Place.
Reucassel will join with local sustainability champions in a discussion that dives into important issues facing the Ipswich community.
War on Waste is a documentary series that focuses on how we are impacting the environment though food waste, fashion, plastics and e-waste.
“I can’t wait to come to Ipswich and answer everyone’s curly waste questions and talk about how we make the next big steps in reducing our waste,” Mr Reucassel said.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said some people had mastered having very little waste, while others gave little thought to what happens after they drop their rubbish in the bin.
“Whether you want to start with small changes to save money or whether you are looking to level up your sustainability skills, there is something for everyone to learn at the Ipswich Sustainable Living Festival,” Mayor Harding said.
“This year’s festival is all about waste reduction and hands-on learning, so you can walk away with practical skills to reduce your footprint and live more sustainably. “There will be lots of demonstrations, workshops, hands-on activities and presentations.”
Horticulturalist Claire Bickle will speak about keeping chickens, and there will be the opportunity to learn how to make soap from food waste, grow your own food, how to compost, upcycle everyday items and rethink household habits.
The Ipswich Sustainable Living Festival 2025 is on Saturday, October 18, from 9am to 1pm at Tulmur Place.
