This website is filled with guidance, resources and some simple but not always obvious advice that will aid you in organizing an event that benefits the community, promotes ethical purchasing, and reduces waste.
For some people this guide will function mainly as a resource providing information about retailers and ways to reduce waste, for others who have never organized a big event it may act as a framework for the "how" of organizing. Regardless of past experience we suggest browsing through the entire guide, it may inspire new ideas or stir up old ones.
