About Stop Trashing It Network

Stop Trashing it empowers citizens to live lightly on the planet, by turning awareness into action when it comes to our waste habits. We focus on cultivating low waste communities by hosting workshops and outreach events, creating engaging social media content, and empowering youth leaders and ambassadors. We’re a network of aspiring low waste individuals. While we’re based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with five interdisciplinary directors, our reach is national and international, with ambassadors across Canada and in the United States. The core team works to serve the HRM, and Nova Scotia more broadly, while other national and international ambassadors serve their surrounding communities.

• Create informational education materials, like infographics, digital flyers and information booklets;
• Build community partnerships with local businesses and organizations, and individuals to amplify our reach through networking opportunities.

Objectives
