Zero Waste Festival: Find Your Point of Intervention
The Post-Landfill Action Network (PLAN) is going on a national tour where we are showcasing individuals and organizations who are challenging the linear consumption model from the point of extraction all the way to the site of disposal. Through highlighting the resistance efforts of frontline communities, companies who are taking holistic approaches to manufacturing, water protectors and land defenders who stand for indigenous sovereignty, and lots of other work, we strive to show the many of ways we can intervene in this broken system. Most of all, we want to show that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something. In recognizing people who resist, redesign, repair, reuse, rediscover, and reclaim, we hope you walk away from this event inspired, activated and motivated.
