    Rehoming Stuff: Finding the Next Highest Good for Your Clients' Unwanted Items or Incorporating Zero Waste Organizing for a Sustainable Future

    Lauren Winters West, Next Highest Good Professional Organizing


    Tuesday November 12, 2024

    6:15PM - 8:00PM

    Overview:

    As professional organizers, we have an important role to play in driving green, zero waste initiatives, through client education, community engagement and creative problem solving.


    I  invite you to consider the role the organizing industry has in driving the sustainability conversation in my presentation.


    I am excited to share loads of inspiring examples, hear about your challenges and offer tips and tricks for creative ways to re-think, re-frame and re-home your clients' unwanted items.


    Attendees will gain:
    tips & tricks for rehoming items that cannot be donated

    ways to speak with your clients about rehoming

    local, national and global resources for rehoming goods 


    Breakout room Qs:
    What are some challenges you have with your clients around rehoming?

    What do you do with items that cannot be donated (ie chair with cat scratched arms or baby items, etc.) when your clients have items they do not want/need but they are not ready for landfill?

    What role do you think the organizing industry plays in sustainability?


    About the speaker:

    Lauren Winters West is a Professional Organizer, Zero Waste Expert and the Founder and CEO of Next Highest Good. She works with clients across all life stages, in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, to create spaces that maximize healthy, sustainable living and productivity, with a focus on zero waste living.
