This presentation will provide perspectives from several current and former public sector leaders as they navigate their paths to zero waste. Discussions will include mandatory versus voluntary programs, materials bans and their effectiveness, public acceptance, and challenges to changing behavior of both residents and businesses. We will discuss what we have found to work, and what we found not to work. Lastly we will discuss what Zero Waste really means to each of us and invite a broader discussion on what is truly possible within our communities.
