The Eco IGA Fund is innovating by evolving its iconic eco-friendly product distribution program!

After 9 years of distributing rainwater barrels and composters, the Eco IGA Fund will now introduce citizens to the reduction of single-use plastics by providing them with a starter kit to encourage them to reduce their consumption of single-use plastics.

For only 30 $, citizens will be able to participate in an awareness workshop on the impact of plastic and obtain a zero-waste kit of a 75$ value. A short 15-minute workshop will introduce citizens to environmental issues related to plastic. Earth Day outreach workers will explain how to take action in a simple and concrete way. And at the end of each workshop, a mystery article can be won by one of the participants.
