Hi Andy - I will join in the round table conversation :)

WOW!!!!!!!! AMAZING!

Ok Abbey!

We had many more team members, didn't we?

Yes we did Lauren :]

Any idea how many of us took advantage of watching the free documentary (200 slots thanks to you!!!)

108 tickets sold Abbey :]

Thanks!

Thanks Andy and Gillian!

ACHS rocks!

I was surprised by how little of the plastic is being recycled.

The corporations are devastating the environment KNOWINGLY. It's criminal. They know what they are doing and they are doing it anyway. All based on greed.

ok

YES!!!!!! VERY! :). I’m so glad you did

I have been doing the 3 r's for over 30 yr's and feel like I have not done enough, plus big advocate on taking care of our earth.

Single use drives me crazy :(

Single use is a horror...I'm looking forward to seeing the film.

Will do!

I google zero waste in FL and only found 2 stores :(

“Googled”

Thats so sad Abbey!

ecowatch.com/plastic-polution states plastic pollution could we have solved the problem 50 years ago?

Wow thank you Sandra :]

Claudia that’s awesome!

:)

They won't do it now with COVID though :(

Sprouts will!! :) :)

For anyone in California. https://zerowastecalifornia.org/bulk-grocery-stores/

Not ours here in Colorado

Tons of ideas for zero waste on Pinterest. I have a whole board

I have two questions: 1: are the green plastic bags at the grocery stores better in some way? 2: how do we affect grocery delivery companies to not use plasitc?

MS in Holistic Nutrition

yes

we need more hemp being grown it is a wonderful plant!

As do ours...but the delivery guys don't use them.

Wow Claudia that is incredible

I wonder if we could design a course for ACHS on this topic (Zero Waste)… as an elective perhaps?? Something maybe we can bring up to Hill?!

Abbey that would be awesome. Hill can help get the ball rolling and probably Susan can help too :]

We can use our own but we can't set them on the counter. You can load them with the bag in your cart

Abbey you’re so awesome we need to get you to do a webinar!! Lol

Yes!

A class in zero waste would be awesome!

cool class! I would do it!

I read that book about going plastic free--can't remember the author's name....

Thanks Andy!! I would love to - I have so many ideas. I did a 14 week “Teach me to be Healthy” Zoom series, it was a major hit. I might be able to whip something up soon :)

Yes

Abbey I love it. We will chat soon!!

:) Sounds great!

Maybe a monthly challenge for campus

Incorporating environmental policy advocacy would be a great topic to include in a business course.

thegaurdian.com is a good site

:). You guys are awesome!! I’d love to be more involved next year - and I’m absolutely going to get more involved her in Venice, FL. Such an important topic.

Here

:)

Thanks for not making fun of my Boston accent! LOL

Sustainability Team? Club? More info please

YES!

Lol ;) I call it “stage” too.

Thank you all! I am so proud to be a part of the ACHS Family! :)

Thank you!

Thank you!
