Did you know that DFW International Airport is the first carbon neutral airport in America? Come to November’s ECO Talk to learn exactly what that means and how it’s accomplished. Additionally, they’ve added PourAway containers that allow customers to dispose of liquid before approaching some TSA checkpoints, making it easier to travel with a reusable water bottle. These measures add up! Last year the airport diverted more than 6,600 tons of waste from local landfills!
Presented by the Environmental Affairs team from DFW Airport, this informative lecture will explain sustainability practices implemented, net zero status, environmental initiatives and improvements throughout the airport. This is always one of our most popular ECO Talks.
THIS EVENT IS FULL.
Did you know? There are an estimated 20,000 species of bees, and approximately 3,600 bee species native to the United States and Canada alone. These pollinators include solitary bees, bumble bees and honey bees. Although birds, bats, and other creatures are also pollinators, insects, like bees, are the animals that do the bulk of the pollination that affects our daily lives. Wild bees are generally different than domesticated honey bees and live underground in nests. An expert speaker will teach attendees how to protect and attract these hardworking pollinators who help our gardens and ecosystems thrive.
Registration opens one month in advance.
