Speaker: Stephanie Miller

Feeling eco-anxiety? What actions could you take today that would help solve the climate and waste crises? In this talk, we will cover the easy steps that busy people can take to reduce their carbon and waste footprint and live more sustainably. Drawing on the messages in her book, Zero Waste Living, the 80/20 Way, Stephanie Miller will discuss actions that fall within what she calls the “magic three”: focus on food, purge plastics and recycle right. You will leave the conversation feeling empowered to take action today and help others around you do the same.

Many of us feel powerless to solve the looming climate and waste crises. We have too much on our plates and may think these problems are better solved by governments and businesses. Zero Waste Living, the 80/20 Way unlocks the potential in each “too busy” individual to be a crucial part of the solution. Stephanie Miller combines her career focused on climate change with her own research and personal experience to show how a few, relatively easy lifestyle changes can create significant positive impact. Using the simplicity of the 80/20 rule, she shows us those things (the 20%) that we can do to make the biggest (80%) difference in reversing the climate and waste crises.

Stephanie J. Miller is the former Director of Climate Business at the World Bank Group and the author of Zero Waste Living, the 80/20 Way. She founded Zero Waste in DC where she reaches a wide audience through sustainability consultations, keynote presentations, and learning events. She is also the founder of DC Reduces, a grassroots initiative that helps businesses and consumers in the DC community reduce single-use packaging.
