First Light is Hiring!

Zero Waste Action Team NL
August 16th is the day we launched our 2021 Brand Audit!
Last year, we audited 40 households in St. John's. This year, we
want to go province-wide and we need YOUR help! You can do the
audit yourself at home, do it with family and friends, do it with your
community or organization, or do it at school! Our goal is to get an
idea of who the major polluters are
in #Newfoundland and #Labrador so that we can call them out and
hold them to account with extended producer
responsibility #EPR legislation.
Check out our Brand Audit Toolkit - it contains everything you need
to know to do your own audit.

Spread the news and let's tackle plastic pollution in our province!
You have until SEPTEMBER 15 to send us your results.
