Following on the success of our first online roundtable on Carbon Offsets and Renewable Energy Certificates in January, our next webinar will be another roundtable discussion, All About Composting. From grass clippings and other landscaping waste to post-consumer food waste and compostable service ware, composting presents a broad range of opportunities for sports venues to reduce landfill waste, save money, and shrink their carbon footprint.
On this webinar, a panel of industry experts will discuss key considerations of any composting program, moderated by Alliance Executive Director Martin Tull. Panelists will explore topics including:
* Back of the house vs. front of the house
* Municipal support and infrastructure
* Key partnerships
* Challenges to scale
* Terms and definitions
* Stories of success
This discussion presents an opportunity to learn more about maximizing composting programs at sports venues, and to hopefully find answers for persistent challenges you may have faced in doing so. If you already have specific questions in mind, please send them to us in advance! Otherwise, you can submit questions during the webinar as well, to be addressed during the Q&A at the end.
