SUMMARY:Community Landfill Tour #3
DESCRIPTION:Did you know the Knott Landfill is 110 feet deep? Have you seen the methane flare? Do you know how long it takes a head of lettuce to decompose in the landfill? \nCome join The Environmental Center and Rethink Waste Project staff in partnership with Deschutes County Department of Solid Waste for a behind-the-scenes tour of what happens to your trash after it leaves the curb. See Knott Landfill’s trash pit\, check out Deschutes Recycling\, tour the transfer station\, and understand the composting facility. Seeing where our waste goes will impact your decisions in the future and help you think twice about purchases. \nThis is a unique opportunity; the landfill isn’t always open to the public for tours. Please register here in advance. \nPLEASE NOTE: There is limited parking at the landfill\, so we will ask for folks to carpool. We will meet at 9am at the Ponderosa Park parking lot near the intersection of SE 15th St and SE Virginia Rd to divide into cars. If your car is already full\, you can go directly to the landfill and we’ll meet you there. We will be back at the cars by noon at the latest. Please dress for weather! Bring layers — it is often windy at Knott Landfill.

SUMMARY:Zero Waste (Green) Home: Bea Johnson is Coming to Bend!
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability isn’t just about how green your home\, office\, or school is – it’s about how you live and make decisions within those spaces and beyond. Which is why we’re kicking off the 2019 Green Tour with zero waste extraordinaire\, Bea Johnson! Join us for a memorable evening that will inspire you to reflect on your own lifestyle and habits\, and provide practical solutions for living simply and reducing waste. \nSince 2008\, Bea and her family have produced a mere PINT of trash per year. (That’s one jar\, folks.) Bea has been featured on TV shows and in publications all over the world. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people to adopt waste-free living\, open unpackaged shops\, and conceive reusable products. As the leading spokesperson for zero waste living\, she has completed 19 international speaking tours and has worked with companies like Google\, Amazon\, Starbucks\, and IKEA\, to name a few. \nBea initiated a global movement. And here in Central Oregon\, she’ll lend a unique perspective on how this fits into our own local sustainability efforts. Why incentivize smaller-footprint homes in our growing community? (Less space = less stuff and less energy). Is it possible to retrofit a 1920’s home and not produce an excess amount of trash? \nReserve your tickets today!\nLearn more about Bea Johnson here. You can also check out her book at the Deschutes Public Library\, or purchase from Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe \nIf you have questions\, or if we can assist with accommodations for this event\, please email Ani or call 541-385-6908.
