Reducing Emissions from Waste Disposal
Waste disposal is not only the leading source of methane emissions in most of our states, but it’s tied to a host of other problems–and solutions! Join us as the RE-AMP Network releases new research into the problems and opportunities for equitably eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from waste disposal.
Speakers include Katherine Blauvelt from Industrious Labs, Mike Garfield from the Ecology Center, Heather Latino from the Harvard Food Law & Policy Clinic, and Daniel Schoonmaker from Michigan Sustainable Business Forum.
What we’ll cover:
- Overview of emissions and why waste disposal is a climate issue
- How waste instersects with other problems such as incineration, hunger, and plastics
- The connection between waste disposal and local governments
- State policies that contribute to solutions
- Local actions that are building new ways of reducing and managing waste
