While creating a regenerative, circular and equitable economy requires the efforts of many stakeholders, community leaders across the country (who are often volunteering hours of their time) can play a major role in driving change, bringing people together and inspiring action.

In a special edition of Indisposable Live, we highlight this year’s three Reusies Activist of the Year winners – people who are co-creating a world without waste and advancing reuse in their communities.

Join Maria Gastelumendi, Founder of The Rising Loafer Cafe in Lafayette, CA, Kendra Schneider, owner of Takeout Takeout in Lansing, MI, and Alisa Shargorodsky, Director of ECHO Systems in Philadelphia, PA, for an engaging discussion on what it takes to activate change locally and help advance reuse.

From creating a more sustainable dining experience, to devising a reuse-based takeout system, to building networks of reuse practitioners, each will share their challenges and experiences working to make reuse the norm where they live and beyond.
