Description

This episode will help anyone planning an event for up to 200 guests to reach a goal of diverting at least 80% of waste from going to a landfill. It will focus on small steps to make an event more sustainable behind the scenes. The key is in the planning phase. Take the time to know how many are attending, what materials for decor can be reused after the event, and how guests receive and consume food and drinks. These three steps seem easy, but they will take some planning.

Listen to this episode to hear stories from Sofia (host) as she shares ten years of experience as a Zero Waste event consultant. We are back with Season 2! Kicking this season off, Michelle interviews Sofia to get tips on making your next event more Zero Waste. Not only is Sofia the host of this podcast, but also a ZERO WASTE event consultant. She has seen it all and sorted through the worst of post-event trash.
