Meet Your Greens: Drowning in Trash: An Open Discussion with Kim O’Rourke

February 15, 2024 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Meet Your Greens: Drowning in Trash: An Open Discussion about Waste Reduction at the Local Level with Kim O’Rourke

Our February Meet Your Greens will be on Thursday, February 15, at Perk on Main, 386 Main St, Middletown, CT.

Let’s talk about waste reduction. Is it important? Is it possible? What does it mean? Kim O’Rourke, Middletown’s Recycling Coordinator, will give an overview of the City’s new, controversial waste reduction program, talk about the challenges and barriers, entertain solutions, and lead a discussion on actions families take to reduce their waste, help the environment and potentially save money. This will be less of a presentation and more of a discussion. Please bring your questions, solutions and ideas for reducing the amount of trash we all are generating.

Join us on Thursday, February 15, at Perk on Main, 386 Main St, Middletown, CT.

Registration is not required but recommended.
