Our expert panelists will discuss everything from how the increased need for PPE is changing the ways people can lead zero-waste lifestyles, to innovative ideas for how your actions can actually be regenerative for the planet, as well as best practices from people who are living sustainably every day from home. We’ll go beyond recycling and home gardens to discuss even more nuanced aspects of the zero waste movement.
