Event Overview
A workshop for conscious Kiwis: Who want real world solutions on how to waste less, and save big.
We’re drowning in stuff — and the planet is sending us the bill.
Globally, we dump 2.12 billion tonnes of waste each year (and climbing to 3.4 billion tonnes by 2050). If food waste were a country, it would be the third-largest climate polluter after the US and China.
Here in Aotearoa, a wild 17.49 million tonnes of waste is generated every year — with nearly 40% of what we send to landfill totally avoidable.
From fast fashion and cleaning products, to food waste and electronics, the story is the same: we’re consuming more than the planet can handle — and definitely more than we actually need.
The good news is, we can change, and Kate’s about to show you how.
Kerbing Consumption is a fresh, actionable workshop filled with real talk, real solutions, and smart swaps that cut waste without cutting joy.
Key Benefits and Features:
What waste is really in your bin — and how tiny changes add up to massive impact
The true cost of “cheap” — fast fashion, microplastics, & the hidden waste crisis
Toxic tubs & cleaning crud — what we’re washing into our waterways, and easy swaps
Low-waste living made easy — refills, re-use, DIY hacks, & better buying habits
Waste-less = Spend-less — because a healthier planet shouldn’t cost the earth
You’ll leave with practical tools, recommendations for sustainable alternatives, and a mindset shift that helps you feel lighter (in your home AND on the planet).
Because when we take control of our consumption — we take control of our future.
If you’re ready to break up with unnecessary waste, cut clutter, save money, and protect our beautiful Aotearoa — this workshop is for YOU.
Kate’s here to show you the everyday habits that make the biggest impact — and make it fun, not overwhelming. With expert guidance, clever hacks, and smarter swaps, you’ll leave feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take charge of your consumption.
