Residents receive green living packs

Woy Woy shoppers will be among those to receive free Green Living packs valued at over $15 each.

The packs will be given away to residents at major events and shopping centres between May 6 and May 27, including at Deepwater Plaza in Woy Woy on May 20.

The giveaways kick off Gosford Council's Green Living in Gosford program that will include workshops on a wide variety of environmental topics later this year.

Each Green Living pack includes two energy efficient globes, a chemical-free cleaning cloth, "green" shopping bag, "no junk mail" sticker, rainsaver crystals to minimise watering of house plants, biodegradable garbage bag, a green living brochure featuring tips on energy, water and waste reduction, and a shopping list with green shopping tips.

Packs will be given out to the first 100 residents completing short questionnaires at several venues including Deepwater Plaza, Woy Woy, on Saturday, May 20, from 10am to 2pm
