APL Goes Green(er): A workshop exploring the City of Austin's Zero Waste by 2040 Initiative and how we, as a library community, can contribute to this important goal.
A representative from Austin Resource Recovery will kick things off with an inside look at what it means for our city to commit to zero waste, why it matters, and how we can all play a role in making it happen. Next, one of our own Green Team members will dive into the ways APL staff can get involved. Whether you have big ideas or just want to start small, the Green Team is here to support us all in promoting zero waste practices and programs within our libraries. Finally, we’ll hear from the Windsor Park Branch team, who’ll share their hands-on experience with the Zero Waste Block Leader Program and how they’re starting to weave zero waste principles into their branch programs. They’ll offer practical tips and examples to inspire your own location's efforts.
This session will connect the dots between citywide goals, department initiatives, and what’s happening at the branch level. Come ready to learn, share, and help APL go even greener!
