Kenilworth residents are invited to a free meet the author event to learn how to have a 'Sustainable(ish) Christmas'.

Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon District Council will host sustainable author and speaker Jen Gale in a free webinar next Wednesday (November 17).

The author of 'The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide' and 'The Sustainable(ish) Guide to Parenting', Jen will be talking about the simple steps we can take to reduce waste and our carbon footprint during the festive season, as part of the first in a series of 'Carbon Connected' webinars.

Sustainable(ish) is all about taking small steps that can make a big difference, with no judgement or preaching involved – finding small changes or tweaks that suit your life but are also good for the planet.

The webinar takes place on Wednesday 17 November 2021 from 1pm to 2pm through Microsoft Teams and can be accessed via a link available on the WDC website.

Councillor Alan Rhead, cabinet member for climate change at WDC said: "With COP26 currently taking place, it has reinforced the need for us all to play our part in reducing our carbon impact.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for residents across south Warwickshire to get some top tips on reducing waste this Christmas. Jen is a renowned speaker and author on the subject who has done many talks across the country, so we're very lucky to have her with us sharing her expertise."
