The Tiffin Project for Teens!
Saturday March 21st 2026
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Woodstock Library
10 Dixon Ave. Woodstock NY
Single-use packaging (like food take-out containers) are wasteful products that are used once, for a very short period of time, before being discarded in a landfill where they may take hundreds of years to “break down.” These wasteful single-use products add up to make a big impact on our planet and communities. Luckily, “low-waste living” and the “Bring Your Own” movement has inspired many people to choose reuse when dining or shopping on-the-go.
This workshop is designed for teens (age 14+) and young adults who want to learn about the impact that “take-out” or “to-go” containers have on litter and waterways. Participants will also be introduced to how single use plastics may also affect our health. Most importantly, participants will learn about the power of reuse through “tiffins” which are reusable stainless steel food containers, and other ways to avoid single use items when dining on the go!
All participants who pre-register will receive a free tiffin at the end of the workshop, compliments of Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency. This program will be presented by Angelina Brandt, UCRRA Director of Sustainability at Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency.
