Waste Warrior Coffee Chats
Zoom in for Waste Warrior Coffee Chats and join in casual conversation while learning more about recycling and waste reduction.
Coffee Chats typically kick off with a short topic talk led by Surplus Store & Recycling Center staff, a fellow Waste Warrior, or a guest speaker, then merge into an informal group discussion. These informal chats give Waste Warriors the opportunity get to know one another, ask questions, and provide feedback to SSRC. Over time, we hope you will become more empowered to practice zero waste principles on campus and at home and share your favorite tips and tricks with colleagues, friends and family.
Waste Warrior Coffee Chats are hosted twice a month -- on the first and third Fridays of the month at 9:30 a.m. via Zoom. To attend, please email SSRC's education coordinator, Katie Deska, at deskakat@msu.edu.
Upcoming Coffee Chat topics:
