A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (1st program):
All Zero Waste Gurus undergo an hour-long, in-person training program giving a holistic overview of Zero Waste. The training begins with a waste separation activity to educate employees about what materials are recyclable. The training continues by inviting employees to think about what they currently waste and how they can potentially cut back on consumption. Employees are then given online resources needed to answer any questions peers may have. At the end of the training, employees take a quiz to demonstrate their knowledge on waste separation, complete a Zero Waste Guru pledge, and receive a small placard with their Zero Waste Guru designation.
