Pioneering reuse in Banff
Manage episode 413224992 series 2712696
The Town of Banff, located in Canada’s first National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, receives over 4 million visitors each year and has no landfills or recycling facilities—presenting both unique opportunities and challenges to achieving the Town’s goal of moving toward zero waste. In 2023, they passed a pioneering Single-Use Item Reduction Strategy & Bylaw (for which they won a Community of the Year award at The Reusies) requiring reusables for on-site dining as well as a strategy focused on reduction and reuse tailored to their unique tourism-based context. Learn from Environmental Coordinator Carla Bitz about the grassroots efforts that led to passage of this law, how it’s going, and what others can learn from Banff’s example. Plus, check out the Reuse for Onsite Dining Library linked in the resources that we hope will help other advocates pass similar laws in their community!
