This interactive TRUE schools’ workshop for K12 and higher education green school leadership will inspire teams to strengthen their training, reuse, recycling, composting and purchasing programs through targeted data collection, analysis, and reporting. Setting goals for waste reduction often comes easy but collecting and calculating data related to a zero waste program is often the most important, yet also most challenging, task for teams. During this hands-on workshop with TRUE rating system staff, learn about the importance of zero waste auditing, steps for collecting the right data, and tools for effectively communicating the results to build support for your program.

Tickets cost $50 to attend the workshop, which is part of the larger conference — though you don't need to attend the entire conference to join the workshop.

Identify zero waste opportunities to save and make money through your material streams and environmentally preferred purchasing.
Obtain key strategies to train staff, leadership and students to expedite your zero waste journey.
Identify tools that can be used to create a diversion tracking system and subsequent reports.
