The Recycling Outreach Team’s “Community Spotlight” initiative highlights local stories about waste-sustainability.
What does it take to make a community festival more sustainable? In this edition of UCRRA’s Community Spotlight series, we visit the Rosendale Street Festival, and speak with two of the organizers for this event, Billy Bob Liggan and Penny Coleman, to highlight the behind the scenes efforts to make zero-waste practices part of this beloved local celebration.
See how community collaboration can make a difference, one event at a time.
