Saving our Planet through Zero Waste
2024-09-22 14:00 | Congregation Beth El Norwalk, 109 East Ave, Norwalk, CT, 06851, United States
It’s a sad truth that in our consumer society, too many of us discard too much trash. Join Congregation Beth El Norwalk to learn how your household can help the environment by generating less garbage that ends up in a landfill.
The Beth El Social Action Committee is privileged to have engaged Louise Golub, an expert on the subject, to share her thoughts and learnings. Louise will speak at Beth El (109 East Avenue, Norwalk) on Sunday, September 22 at 2 pm providing information that will help us all make a difference. Louise is a member of Beth El who has been mindful of creating close to zero waste for many years. While her professional background is as a CPA, she has taken many college courses in environmental science, while living in a way that minimizes the trash she generates.
Based on science and her personal experience, Louise’s talk will focus on practical ways we can all cut down on the amount of trash we discard.
This program is sponsored by the CBE Social Action Committee and is open to the public. For security purposes, we ask that you register in advance.
