 Library invite you to join us for "Towards a Waste Free Greenwich\," a Zoom 
 program with Julie DesChamps\, founder and chair of Waste Free Greenwich\, 
 on Wednesday\, October 29\, at 7 pm.\n\nJoin Julie to learn how Waste Free 
 Greenwich is addressing Connecticut's waste crisis and how you can be part 
 of the solution. Discover what happens to our trash and recycling and 
 uncover the impacts of our current waste management system on our 
 environment\, public health\, and our wallets. Explore local initiatives 
 from food scrap and textile diversion to zero waste schools and how to 
 adopt practices at home\, school\, and work\, towards a just and 
 sustainable future in Greenwich.\n\nJulie DesChamps is an environmental

 less. Julie chairs the waste reduction sector of the Greenwich
