We are a society becoming increasingly dependent on disposable consumer products and it has a devastating impact on our environment. On "Issues of the Environment," WEMU's David Fair discusses the upcoming Zero Waste Challenge in Ann Arbor, with Live Zero Waste executive director Samuel McMullen. Find out what we can learn and how to make a difference.
The Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking hosted a three day virtual event to help make the University of Calgary a zero waste campus. This event gave undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral scholars the opportunity to collaborate in teams or work independently to create a proposal that would help meet UCalgary’s zero waste goal by 2030.
The winners of this event were Team 8, Team 18, Team 19 and Team 13 whose project proposals involved a Zero Waste education app, turning MacHall waste-free, reducing paper usage on campus and using the reduce-reuse-recycle method through research.
From May 14 – 16, the Hunter Hub Solutions Lab gave participants the opportunity to hear from community speakers, attend proposal development workshops and attend feedback sessions with sustainability leaders from UCalgary.
