SUMMARY:Eco-Friendly Home! DIY Cleaners & More

DIY Cleaners & More!\nFriday\, March 10th 2023\n*SNOWDATE: Friday March 17th\n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nUCRRA Main Office\, 999 Flatbush Road Kingston NY\n \n\nWe all have favorite household products that we rely on because they work well. It could be anything from a preferred cleaner to a preferred toothpaste. Some of the brands and products we’ve grown to love contain chemicals that don’t love us back. Bleach\, ammonia\, and oven cleaners are examples of chemical cleaning agents that can irritate our skin\, eyes\, and respiratory tract. Some beauty products also contain fragrances and chemicals whose health risks are still unknown. Many of these products are also classified as Hazardous Waste and require safe disposal. \nAlthough eco-friendly alternatives are becoming more widely available in stores\, you can easily make your own at home with very simple and low-cost ingredients! Curious? Join us in our Eco- Friendly Home workshop to learn how to make your own products that are better for the environment\, your health\, and your wallet! \nThe class will be hosted in-person at the UCRRA Main Office and facilitated by the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team\, featuring a short presentation with several demos\, and participants will leave with their own recipes and DIY products. All class materials provided. \nTO SIGN UP: Class size is limited to TEN PARTICIPANTS. Please RSVP at the link below. \nSign Up for this class!Share This Story!Accessibility: This is an indoor event. Accessible parking is available approximately 20 feet from the main entrance (no automatic doors at this building). Accessible bathrooms are available indoors (Main Office\, first floor).

SUMMARY:Intro to Bokashi
DESCRIPTION:Fall Seminar: Intro to Bokashi\nFriday\, October 21st 2022\n1:00-2:00 PM\nUCRRA Main Office\n999 Flatbush Road\, Kingston NY\n \nUnlike “conventional” composting\, Bokashi is an anaerobic process where food scraps are placed in a sealed\, air-tight container and are fermented with the aid of a specialized additive (a microbial compost accelerator). Bokashi Bran is a combination of four key ingredients: wheat bran\, molasses\, water\, and a special accelerator called EM 1. After a few weeks of fermenting\, the “unfinished” byproduct of bokashi should be added to a conventional backyard composting system to complete the decomposition process. \nFor many advanced or seasoned composters\, bokashi methods have a lot to offer as a way to manage meat\, bones\, and dairy products. Using Bokashi can also introduce beneficial microbes to the compost pile\, which speeds up the process so you can use your finished compost faster. Join the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team to learn about the wacky world of microbes and this interesting method of composting! \nThis workshop is designed for intermediate composters that have mastered the basics of backyard composting and want to take their composting to the next level. In this workshop\, participants will learn the pros/cons of this method of composting\, be introduced to the science behind how bokashi works\, and learn  how to get started (materials needed\, recipes\, tips and more). Our educators will guide participants through a hands-on demonstration of how to make the bokashi bran\, and participants will go home with a sample of bokashi bran that is ready to use. \nThis workshop will be hosted in person at the UCRRA Main Office with guest speakers Angelina Brandt\, Director of Sustainability and Tanesia White\, Recycling Educator of the Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. Class size is limited to 15 participants and participants must pre-register by Monday\, October 17th.  Register by clicking the button below.  \nSign Up for this Class! Accessibility: This is an indoor event. Accessible parking is available approximately 20 feet from the main entrance (no automatic doors at this building). Accessible bathrooms are available indoors (Main Office\, first floor). Social distancing and use of face masks are strongly encouraged for indoor events\, but are not required.

SUMMARY:Upcycled Art for Teens! Oceans of Possibilities (Ellenville Library)
DESCRIPTION:Upcycled Art for Teens: Oceans of Possibilities!\nWednesday\, July 27th 2022\n1:00 PM – 2:30 PM\nEllenville Public Library\nUpcycling is a creative and fun way to reimagine unwanted items and turn our waste into new\, useful items or works of art! Not everything can be recycled\, but we can give new life to old items by reusing and upcycling them. The class will be hosted at the Library and facilitated by the UCRRA Recycling Outreach Team\, celebrating the library’s Summer Reading Program Series with the focus on Oceans of Possibilities. \nParticipants in this class will learn about the impact of plastic pollution on our oceans and wildlife\, and will create works of upcycled art from some common plastic objects. Join UCRRA in celebrating Plastic Free July and make sea creatures out of plastic! All craft materials will be provided. Parental supervision is recommended. This FREE hands on workshop is open for recommended ages 12-18. \nTO SIGN UP: Class size is limited. Please RSVP online at the link below. \nSign Up for this class! We’re Celebrating Plastic Free July! \nAbout Plastic Free July: Plastic Free July® is a key initiative of the Plastic Free Foundation that allows communities everywhere to work towards a vision of seeing a world free of plastic waste. From humble beginnings in 2011\, the award-winning Plastic Free July campaign is the result of years of hard work. How long could you go without using any new plastic? Take the Pledge! Learn more about Plastic Free July and what you can do to help reduce plastic pollution.  \nAbout the Plastic Free Foundation: The Plastic Free Foundation Ltd was restructured in 2017 as an independent\, not-for-profit charity to better support participants and grow the campaign. The mission of the Plastic Free Foundation is guided and informed by core values including the belief that small changes add up to make a big difference. It was started by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz (the founder of the Plastic Free Foundation) and a small team in local government in Western Australia\, and is now one of the most influential environmental campaigns in the world. Millions of people across the globe take part every year\, with many committing to reducing plastic pollution far beyond the month of July. \nShare This Story!
