Standing Committee of Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management Speech

Speaking as a delegate during the Standing Committee of Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management in support of the motion Catherine McKenney put forth on the ban of single-use plastics, bottles and styrofoams in municipal buildings.

I start around 1:40:00

Nervously I talked of my zero waste experience and shared my petition I created with over 12,000 supporters to ban single-use plastics in the City of Ottawa. I was supported and met with a smiling thumbs up from Catherine McKenney and warmness by everyone at the Ottawa Water Study Action Group (@owsagottawa) who were also speaking in support of it.

Exploring Alternatives

After my one year challenge to go zero waste in 2015, I was interviewed by Mike and Danielle of Exploring Alternatives. In this video I was a single mom who adopted a zero waste lifestyle for almost 1 year to reduce the amount of garbage I send to landfills and to be part of a sustainable future. I still strive for a zero waste life, although I am now in a committed relationship.
