“What does ‘zero-waste’ even mean?” ⁠
“How can my business stop using so many disposable items?” ⁠
“Why is ‘compostable plastic’ not sustainable? ⁠
“I want to make a difference, but I don’t even know where to start?” ⁠
⁠
Did any of these questions resonate with you?⁠
If so, the zero-waste team at Ocean Ambassadors Canada will have your answers during our Zero Waste Coaching program. ⁠
⁠
Sound interesting? ⁠
