Solving the world's waste problem isn't a quick or easy fix, but there are still plenty of ways that we can support positive change. Join Ben Kogan of Reusable Solutions in this empowering conversation where we'll explore opportunities to reduce our personal impact on this planetary problem. We'll learn more about the path an item takes when we throw it "away" or recycle it, we'll hear about circular systems of reuse, and we'll brainstorm swaps to reduce the number of items in need of disposal. Come with your questions and ideas, leave with a free reusable utensil set and a renewed commitment to a zero-waste lifestyle!
