Opening the event addressing global waste problems, Dr. William McIlveen gave an interesting look into how humans and their environmental impacts evolved over time. Loss of habitat and species extinction relayed a sense of urgency to take collective action regarding waste reduction.
Although a pretty grim picture was painted, he ended on a positive note. There is something you can do about it.

It was a very educational evening. I thought that I was doing the best I could with reducing waste, but I was taught a great deal on how to work better to save the environment. Thank you for the evening. Great job on everyone’s part. Janis
