Do you want to learn more about waste and the ways that Edmonton and Canadian businesses are working to reduce food and plastic waste? Are you curious about the psychology behind consumers' behaviors towards wastefulness? Zero Waste Edmonton has paired up with different Edmonton and Canadian organizations to bring you a fun and educational experience focused on waste reduction! Join us for a virtual webinar to learn more about the impacts of food and plastic waste, ways to reduce it, and businesses leading zero waste initiatives you should know about!
Hear from representatives from two Canadian organizations and a scholar on how they manage and reduce food and plastic waste daily. Josh Domingues, the CEO of Flashfood Company, will talk about how his company helps local retailers reduce their food waste while feeding people affordably. Michael Kalmanovitch, the owner of Earth's General Store, will speak about how his store’s refilling program aims to reduce plastic waste. Saurabh Mukesh Rawal, a University of Alberta Ph.D. candidate in Consumer Behavior, will discuss consumers' psychology regarding wastefulness.
All speakers will bring different perspectives on waste reduction and offer tips to reduce your waste! Check out our Instagram @zerowaste.yeg or Facebook @edmonton.zerowaste for more information on the speakers.
