Aquariums lead the way for throw-away free concessions in the U.S. - indisposable stories from the edge w/Aimee David of Monterey Bay Aquarium

We all know that single-use plastic pollution harms marine life, so what better place to model throw-away free concessions than America’s aquariums?

In this episode we talk with Aimee David, the Ocean Conservation Policy Director for Monterey Bay Aquarium, a co-creator of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, and visionary advocate for throw-away free venues and policy. Aimee shares the story of how Monterey Bay Aquarium has paved a path to reuse-based concessions that offers a model for transitioning food service away from single-use disposables. Listen in for some golden lessons learned, inspiring stories, and visionary exploration of how iconic venues can help transition our culture away from throw-away.
