*Arrive early* - the first 20 guests will receive a (straw-free) margarita on the house!
________
Americans are addicted to plastic straws - we use 182,500,000,000 of them each year. But for such a small piece of plastic, their impact on the environment is huge.
Some businesses are taking action: inspired by customer feedback submitted through MoneyVoice, West of Pecos recently agreed to ban plastic straws. Why don't more businesses make the switch? How can we encourage awareness and action? What can customers do to advocate at the businesses they spend money at?
Join us as we dive into these questions and more.
At 6:30, we'll kick off a panel on this topic, moderated by Shana Rappaport, Director of Strategic Programs at GreenBiz Group.
After the panel, we invite you to order dinner and join one of our small breakout groups, each led by an expert in various sustainability topics.
Confirmed appearances by:
- Jackie Nunez, Founder, The Last Plastic Straw- Eva Holman, Surfrider Foundation- Brennan Madden, Senior Consultant at Resource Recycling Systems
+ more still to be confirmed!
We're very excited to have an intimate evening with the movers and shakers of the sustainability world exploring solutions and possibilities. Hope you can join us!
