October 23, 2025 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am

Speaker: Kirstie Pecci, Kevin Budris, Vanessa Zapata, Laura Orlando

Zero Waste advocacy is most effective when rooted in community engagement and driven by local priorities. This session will introduce a suite of interactive, customizable Zero Waste Toolkits designed to help advocates craft policies that reflect their community’s unique needs, challenges, and political landscapes. Policy experts from Just Zero will share real-world examples of how these toolkits have supported the development of strong, people-centered waste laws, offering practical guidance for those looking to drive change in their own cities and towns.
