Host Brooking Gatewood sits down with some of the leaders of Reuse Seattle, which won The Reusies 2023 Community Action of the Year “Building Reuse” award. Zero Waste thought leaders McKenna Morrigan of Seattle Public Utilities and Moji Igun of Blue Daisi consulting walk us through the systemic approach the city has taken to build reuse into everyday life in Seattle—from a public BYO campaign and start-up funding for businesses switching to reuse, to model policies and zero waste beer gardens at major music events, and more. Tune in to learn about this inspiring case study for all cities looking to make throw-away go away.

Also check out episode 93 for Matt Prindiville’s conversation last year with two other Reuse Seattle visionaries in this effective public-private collaboration, Pat Kaufman at Seattle Public Utilities and Stephanie Thomas of Cascadia Consulting.
