“Managing Our Waste - From Trash to Treasure” - Panelists: Kristin O’Hara, Communications and Education Manager, from Monterey Regional Waste Management District, Janna Faulk, Recycling Coordinator, from the Salinas Valley Recycles (Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority)
Are you curious about composting? Rabid about recycling? Troubled about toxics? Can you imagine a future without landfills, a world where materials are continuously reused in a virtuous, sustainable cycle? While the mountains of trash and rivers of recycling we generate today are evidence that we have a long way to go, our panelists will give us a more complete understanding of where we are on the journey and how we can become more responsible managers of our waste.
Topics to be addressed include:
- New California legislation governing plastics recycling
- Composting
- Generation of energy from waste
- Reuse of materials
- The future of landfills
- Consumer behavior that makes a difference
- [Your favorite aspect of the mountains of waste we create]
