Write Out West Festival: Children’s Author Event with Lee Constable

We’re inviting junior eco superheroes to join Lee Constable, author of “How to Save the Whole Stinkin’ Planet” and Penrith City Council’s Waste and Resource Recovery Team, for an afternoon of science, sustainability and a whole tonne of blinkin’ fun.

This session is best suited for primary school aged children. Tickets are free, bookings not required.

From 3pm Penrith City Council’s Waste and Resource Recovery team invite you to ignite your inner ‘Litter-Leonardo da Vinci’, ‘Salvager Dali’, and ‘Reuse Rembrandt’ by contributing to a collaborative artwork made from post-consumer waste items.

This project encourages people to think about the everyday items we consume, and the waste generated by consumer behaviour and to consider possible alternatives to sending these items to landfill. Collected materials from the office and home, including bottlecaps, fabric offcuts, old textiles, bicycle wheels, outdated flyers and other miscellaneous items are used in the project, meaning the project does not use any new materials.

From 4pm, Lee Constable, science and sustainability presenter and edu-tainer will tell us “How to Save the Whole Stinkin’ Planet!”.
