SUMMARY:Greenwashing 2.0: Debunking Recycling Myths
DESCRIPTION:People often ask what really happens to their plastic recycling. Unfortunately\, it doesn’t matter where your discarded plastic is collected\, whether at the end of your driveway\, at your local recycling center\, or in a municipal recycling bin: Most plastic items collected as recycling are not actually “recycled.” Many people are now realizing that plastic is not designed to be recycled—it’s a false solution sold to us by corporations and governments. What’s more\, “plastic recycling” drives continued production and pollution of plastics and fossil fuels\, and their related injustices.

SUMMARY:Food Waste Prevention and Rescue Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that wasted food makes up over 25% of waste at Knott Landfill by tonnage – making it the largest category of waste in the landfill? Yet\, in Deschutes County\, 1 in 8 people is food insecure\, meaning they don’t always know where their next meal will come from. In addition\, the average family of four tosses $1\,800 worth of food every year ($150/mo on just wasted food!) and wasted food uses the same energy and water as 50 million homes. It’s time to rethink food waste\, and we want to help you do it. \nWe will start with a brief presentation on why food waste matters\, how to prevent food waste\, and strategies for composting. Afterwards\, a small group of us will walk over to the Bend Farmers Market to the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance (HDFFA) booth for an intro and demo to food rescue. If you’re interested in both\, the presentation and the demo\, be sure to select the appropriate ticket below. There are only 15 spots open for the demo\, so once it is sold out\, that option will no longer be available. Please reach out to kavi@envirocenter.org with any questions. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Designing a Plastic-Free Future with Regenerative Materials
DESCRIPTION:The urgency of our plastic pollution crisis requires a substantial shift in the way products are designed\, manufactured\, used\, and recirculated. From textiles and food containers to sachets and protective shipping packaging\, plastic continues to dominate across industries and persist\, polluting people and the planet at every stage of its existence. As we create a more circular economy\, what exciting bio-based feedstocks and technologies are emerging to help transition away from fossil-based inputs? Can nature-based solutions both be regenerative and scalable?

SUMMARY:Drop it\, Swap it - FREE Reduce and Reuse Event 2024
DESCRIPTION:Drop it Swap it is an event where people bring small\, portable items that are clean and in good working condition\, which they no longer want or need. Items are dropped off early\, categorized\, and then displayed on swap tables where participants can browse and find something new to take home. These Free Swaps are a fantastic way to give new life to items\, reduce waste\, and prevent things from ending up in the landfill. Additionally\, the event fosters a strong sense of community\, offering residents a chance to meet and connect with like-minded individuals. \nDate : September 28\, 2024\nTime : Drop it! 9am -10:30am\nSwap it! 12pm- 2pm\nLocation : Deschutes County Road Department Parking Lot\n61150 SE 27th Street\, Bend\, OR 97702 \nWhy Participate?\nThis event isn’t just about finding something new – it’s about making a difference. By participating in Drop It\, Swap It\, you’re helping to keep perfectly good items out of the landfill and giving them a second life. It’s a fun\, eco-friendly way to de-clutter your home and discover hidden treasures from others in our community! \nHow It Works: \n\nDrop It: Bring your unwanted\, portable items to the event from 9-10:30am at the Deschutes County Roads Department. Items will be sorted by category to make browsing easy.\nSwap It: Once the items are set up\, the swap begins\, 12-2pm!

DESCRIPTION:Event: What’s recyclable anyway? (and what the heck is the RMA?)\nDate/Time: Tuesday\, November 18th 6-7:30pm\nLocation: Online (Zoom) \nDid you know our consumption accounts for half of our emissions? Did you hear that Knott Landfill is close to full?

Do you have questions about what has changed or what is about to change? Or maybe\, are you skeptical that these changes will have any meaningful impact? \nAt our 4th annual America Recycles Day event\, come get answers to all these questions and more by a panel of experts.  \nA big thanks to our panelists! \nPanel:\nColin Teem\, Materials Management – Eastern Region Specialist\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\nRachel VanWoert\, RMA Technical Assistant\, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality\nSusan Baker\, Diversion and Franchise Services Manager\, Deschutes County Solid Waste\nModerator: Kavi Chokshi\, Rethink Waste Program Manager\, The Environmental Center \nQuestions?
