CURC Annual Workshop: Community Connections – Sept. 30th To say that everything is connected may sound trite but in every aspect of our work in waste reduction, sustainability, environmental justice and our campus communities it is almost impossible to accomplish anything in a vacuum. CURC’s 2021 Workshop theme is Community Connections because we cannot accomplish our goals of reducing waste, increasing diversion and protecting the health of our community and our environment without making the necessary connections to engage, understand, and collaborate.CURC’s Annual Workshop:Community ConnectionsSeptember 30th 12:00-4:00PM ESTRegister here!Please join us on Thursday, September 30th from 12:00 – 4:00 pm (ET) for an exciting virtual workshop that will explore the many ways and people we should connect with for a just and zero waste future, including our campuses’ BIPOC and marginalized communities, local governments, community groups working on health and Environmental Justice, and our colleagues.
