Zero Waste Symposium: Steps Toward A Sustainable Future
The cities of San Diego, Oceanside, and El Cajon have set zero waste goals and the County Board of Supervisors voted last week to explore what it would take for the county to develop a Zero Waste Plan.
The 2nd Annual Zero Waste Symposium "Steps Toward a Sustainable Future” speakers include County of San Diego Supervisors Greg Cox and Dave Roberts, City of Oceanside Councilmember Esther C. Sanchez, Special Assistant to Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins Deanna Spehn, and Deputy Director of Waste Reduction and Disposal Division at the City of San Diego Stephen Grealy.
Classical radio host Kingsley McLaren will speak about sustainability and resource management efforts implemented at the 36-story high-rise condominium building he manages in downtown San Diego. Representatives from Feeding America San Diego, Goodwill, Albertsons, The Reuse People, Recon Recycling, I Love A Clean San Diego, CalRecycle, CalEPA, Hidden Resources, Sustainable Solutions, and the cities of Oceanside, San Diego, and Chula Vista, among others, will also present.
Pre-registration is $50 for general public, $40 for CRRA members, $20 for students and non-profits, and $15 for students who donate an article of clothing to Goodwill (on the day of the event). A Zero Waste lunch will be served and is included in the price of admission. A networking mixer follows.
