SUMMARY:League of Women Voters' Timely Topics
DESCRIPTION:LWV-Wake’s Environment Committee\, in collaboration with Toward Zero Waste\, will host the November Timely Topics event\, a discussion of the problem of plastic pollution in North Carolina and recent efforts to combat this problem. \nOne of those efforts is HB-28\, the NC Managing Environmental Waste Act of 2023. Championed by Rep. Harry Warren (R\, Rowan)\, the bill’s primary sponsor\, and Rep. Pricey Harrison (D-Guilford)\, HB 28 is a bipartisan bill that allocates funds to the NC Policy Collaboratory to study the issue of food service ware and that aims to reduce the use of single-use plastic throughout the state. \nLeading the discussion will be Grady O’Brien\, Policy Associate with the North Carolina Conservation Network and Leigh Williams\, Co-Founder of Toward Zero Waste. Mr. O’Brien will summarize the current status of the bill and will outline the challenges faced by legislators and environmentalists who are working to eliminate plastic waste. Ms. Williams will describe her journey towards zero waste and provide tips for how we all can reduce the solid waste we create in our homes. \nThe Environment Committee will be offering light refreshments for attendees.  In a spirit of sustainability\, all serve ware will be either reusable or compostable. \nThis will be an in-person event and is open to the public. Registration is required. You can register for the event here. We hope to see you there!
