Where: Virtually on Zoom

Register: Here!

We are training hundreds of advocates to take action in their communities and tackle the plastics crisis by focusing on reuse as a solution to pollution. Whether you’re new to organizing or already leading efforts in your community, this bootcamp will help you:

• Understand the plastics and waste crisis

• Explore how reuse systems can transform communities

• Learn organizing skills to build local campaigns and drive change

• Connect with a growing network of reuse Changemakers working for a future beyond the throwaway culture

In order to tackle the environmental crisis we are facing, we need to get out there, mobilize, and pass policies that shift us from a linear system of take-make-waste to a circular system of reuse.

How the training works:

The online Basic Training is two hours long - we offer two sessions for schedule flexibility. You only need to attend one session!

There is an optional additional Leadership Training on a separate date for participants ready to deepen their advocacy skills and take on bigger organizing roles.

The leadership training offerings will be July 13 – 3pm PT | 4pm MT | 6pm ET and July 14 - 3pm PT | 4pm MT | 6pm ET
