Jacquie’s ‘WasteLess, LiveBetter talk and workshop…was a great summary of the Zero Waste 2030 program in NYC. Now I feel more knowledgeable about how to do my part towards achieving a zero waste goal. Who knew there were so many easy ways to participate?

– Jason Grant, Zero Food Waste PopUp Initiative

Jacquie Ottman is one great speaker – so knowledgeable, inspiring, witty, and friendly. I appreciated the way you she got people to introduce themselves and interact… I have been much more conscious since her talk. During her talk about Wasting Less and Living Better, I got the idea to host a casual open house for the neighbors on my floor. I want us to be more of a community!
