Marcia talks about how our consumption patterns cannot be sustained forever. Her talk encompasses sources of wasted resources and strategies to move towards a more “circular way of consuming”. From auditing trash to zero waste living, the devil is in the details. She tells us how we can maintain satisfaction and maximize utility and ensure future generations enjoy these same privileges? Marcia has been working both publicly and privately on waste reduction programs. She currently works for the City of Kamloops as the Solid Waste Services Analyst maintaining data pertaining to solid waste collection and disposal as well as oversees the City's recycling program.
Marcia also has a business called Waste Naught BC, where she helps all sectors better manage their waste through waste audits and waste management planning. She believes that a world without waste is possible, and with the collective effort of every one of us, we can turn 21 billion tonnes of worldwide waste into 21 billion tonnes of worldwide resources! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
