Zero Waste Solutions to Planetary Crises: Expert & political perspectives, Monday 18 November, 5:15pm-7:30pm, at Rutherford House.

Join the Zero Waste Network (of which we are a proud member) and the Aotearoa Plastic Pollution Alliance for not one but TWO panels, facilitated by legendary broadcaster, Kim Hill, to discuss some of the most challenging issues facing our planet.

Experts will speak to some of the most promising zero waste solutions to the waste and plastic pollution crises (and their impact on the climate, biodiversity, human health, social justice and so much more), while also highlighting false solutions such as incineration that we must avoid. These solutions include Bottle Deposits, Product Stewardship, the Right to Repair, using organic waste to restore degraded soils, and a global agreement to end plastic pollution.

After a short break, MPs (politicians) will get a chance to respond to what they heard and discuss their position or policies on the key topic areas raised by the experts. We’ll be joined by MPs from across the political spectrum.

Spaces are limited, so grab your tickets now to avoid disappointment!
