Event description:

​

Five topics, five experts, and a response from politicians. 

​

Come and join the Zero Waste Network and the Aotearoa Plastic Pollution Alliance for not one but TWO panels, with a special guest facilitator, to discuss some of the most challenging issues facing our planet.

 

Waste isn't just about landfills and plastic in the environment - sucking the earth's resources into the economy and spitting them back out again has an effect on the climate, biodiversity, human health, social justice and so much more. But what do we do about these multiple crises? 

 

Experts will speak to some of the most promising zero waste solutions to these crises: Bottle Deposits, Product Stewardship, the Right to Repair, using organic waste to restore degraded soils, and a global agreement to end plastic pollution, while also highlighting the false solutions that we must avoid.

​

​After a short break, MPs 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.

 

There will be drinks and nibbles and time for networking. This event will be ticketed separately and spaces will be limited so keep an eye out for when the tickets go live!
