Review: Package Free

The Package Free shop is any environmentally conscious person's dream! I wish I could have one of everything :3

True friends are those who make you dinner 🥰 Here we have delicious #daal topped with fried dough, spinach, and Thai chili peppers 🤤 I'm still figuring out how to make complex and tasty #vegetarian #recipes but I think I should be looking at #Indianfood as inspiration 🤔 PS- how did I do on my #flatlay?! #foodphotography #eeeeeats

Education and demonstration can be so instrumental to encourage new behaviors! At @scienceworldca, there's a whole outdoor section dedicated to teaching children and adults how to raise all kinds of plants such as veggies and herbs! I especially liked this display showing us how to grow plants in cities and dispelling the misconception that if you lived somewhere without a yard that you couldn't raise plants of your own 🌱 #growyourown #urbangarden #greenthumb #homegarden

In #vancouver it seems like the #sustainability train has already passed on through! Vendors charge you if you want a bag for your purchases, and takeout places have #compostable utensils and containers. I'm pleasantly surprised because even in commercial establishments there are four trash and #recycling bins: regular trash, plastics, paper, and organic waste!! 😍 Organic waste bins are not found throughout NYC and it's frustrating to experience and witness #foodwaste. The city rolled out its own version of a #GreenNewDeal which includes the expansion of the residential organics collection program, but I'm waiting for it to mandate businesses and buildings to offer compost bins if they serve food (or if people eat there) too! I saw this lovely sign from a local vendor selling berries and had to take a photo and share with you 🍓 #berryseason #supportlocal #homegrown #farmersmarket

#ThePowerOf Music as a form of therapy in the #YouthZone at #WD2019, and beyond. I first learned about Shawnee in 2018 when I was researching powerful voices doing advocacy in Canada. Shawnee is a Canadian indigenous singer who not only has an AMAZING voice, but she uses her music to empower youth and raise awareness on indigenous youth suicide prevention. Swipe to hear a clip of her hit song #WarriorHeart which left the crowd speechless and some in tears because of the lyrics. Shawnee, it was such an honor meeting you and having you perform and share your experiences at the Women Deliver 2019 Conference. I wish you all the best as you continue your musical and advocacy journey. 🥰

#ThePowerOf Dance in the #YouthZone at #WD2019 🎧 While the most logistically complex session, it turned out to be an overwhelming hit! Delegates flocked to the Youth Zone to let off some steam and dance to some top hits in a #SilentDisco immersive experience 💃🕺

#ThePowerOf Solutions at #WD2019 🤓💡 This is the first time we had a "Solutions Gallery" at a Women Deliver Conference and I'm SO proud to have been part of it. Additionally, it was the first time we've ever hosted a Digital Posters Session where over 500 people and orgs applied and we accepted 150 to showcase their #advocacy-oriented #research and #evidencebased initiatives to advance #genderequality in their countries. Since I sit on the Youth Engagement team, it warms my heart that 43% of the presenters were youth under 30 :') #solutions #advocacy #presentations #academics #academia
