Edward Humes is a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and author of 17 nonfiction books, including Garbology, Door to Door, Mississippi Mud, No Matter How Loud I Shout, and The Forever Witness.
In this entertaining, eye-opening, and solutions-based talk, Humes exposes how waste is our biggest problem and how solving our inherent trashiness can fix our economy, our energy costs, our national security, and even our traffic jams—all while helping slow climate change and making us healthier, happier, and more prosperous. His effective and remarkably simple strategies will inspire everyone, from individuals and local organizations to large corporations and government institutions—to reduce and eliminate waste at all levels of society.
COME EARLY at 5:30 p.m. for a free public reception, celebrating 35 years of recycling in Jackson Hole. The presentation will be approximately one hour, with a book-signing to follow.
This keynote event is part of Zero Waste Week, a celebration of 35 years of community recycling in Teton County.
Sponsored by the Jackson Hole Travel and Tourism Board, Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, and Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling.
