Description

My workshops will teach you how to become a conscious consumer and make wise choices that will bless your family and the environment, all while doing it on a budget. You will see a difference in your grocery bill right away!

At the moment I am offering three workshops, Introduction to Sustainable Living on a Budget, Homemade Dairy Products and Whole Grains/Meal Planning. Check my website (www.sustainablebudget.com) to find out more about hosting a workshop in your own home or at your workplace.

The focus of the first workshop is on sustainable living and how to do it on a budget. I talk about saving money on groceries but still buying local and organic, eliminating the need to go to the grocery store, simplifying your cupboards, and purifying your home by eliminating plastics and other petroleum and chemical based products and SO much more. We will "walk" through each room of a typical home and talk about what is found in them that is traditionally not made "green" and how to replace these items. You will be surprised how many items are petroleum based or sprayed with chemicals. You will walk away with a notebook full of practical information and the knowledge to implement it in your life. You will see a difference in your grocery bill right away.
