Feeling like consuming responsibly, cooking plant-based or zero waste, sewing your old clothes, refurbishing your furniture, repairing your everyday objects, transforming your jeans into bags?

Here are 5 for a zero waste life turned towards the future.
La Maison du Zéro déchet
This is THE must-visit place for anyone who wants to reduce their waste footprint. In addition to offering a selection of practical everyday items, La Maison du Zéro Déchet offers, every month, a few well-thought-out workshops to live and consume more responsibly.

Chefsquare
Chefsquare is the platform for cooking workshops to become a true chef. Here, we choose the vegetarian or zero waste version, of course, and we discover that eating responsibly can be super delicious. For 2 hours, we explore comforting flavors and learn to cook what is usually thrown away, to use one product for both a main course and a dessert, to incorporate peels into dish preparations, to use chickpea water as a replacement for eggs, and more...

The Climate Academy
Right in the heart of Paris, The Climate Academy is a true gathering place for information, exchange, and action. Its goal? Reflecting on the challenges of climate change through a series of roundtable discussions, conferences, debates, screenings, exhibitions... and workshops! "Invent our low-carbon lives," "Learn to repair small appliances" ... Ask for the program.

Repair Café
If you are not familiar with the Repair Café, this essential community spot might become a part of your routine, just like it did for us over the years. This place is a true celebration of repair, existing in almost every neighborhood in the capital and throughout France. It helps bring neighbors together through fun and collaborative repair workshops. Bring your broken appliances and learn how to fix them yourself. Let's be honest, it's pretty awesome and it will make you feel proud.

Wecandoo
This top wouldn't be a top without mentioning, of course, the Wecandoo workshops. Should we still introduce the platform that has been well established in France for several years? Whether you're into pottery and ceramics, wine tasting, or sewing, they have it all. When it comes to zero waste, will you go for the recycled denim cushion, the DIY zero waste kit, or maybe the upcycled makeup bag that's extremely stylish? The choice is yours.
