ecomaine environmental educator, Katrina Bussiere-Venhuizen will present, “There’s No Such Thing as Away: Where Does your Trash and Recycling End Up?” at our next Portland’s Sustainability Series program. Katrina landed her dream job with ecomaine in August 2016 and has been educating all in her path since then about proper waste management practices, including helping folks know what goes where, the processing that comes next and where their waste goes from Maine.

Bring your questions and even some examples you’ve been yearning to learn the answers to. If you’ve ever been curious about what happens to your trash or recycling, where it all really ends up (Landfi ll? Ocean?? China???) you won’t want to miss this program!
