Details

A joint program of the New Orleans Group of the Sierra Club, and the Tulane Green Club

Our speaker will be Brett Davis. Brett is the Founding Director of Grounds Krewe, a New Orleans based non-profit with a mission to lower the waste impact of the city’s many festivals and special events. His organization has a specific focus on transitioning Mardi Gras away from its overuse of imported, toxic, disposable plastic parade throws that are often neglected, and create millions of pounds of unnecessary, littered trash in New Orleans streets, storm drains and landfills.

  • Brett will cover two major initiatives: Waste Prevention through Grounds Krewe’s Sustainable Throw Catalog, which will expand our locally-made, sustainable throw offerings
  • Waste Reduction through their parade recycling initiative “Recycle Dat!", which will offer 8+ stations and 200+ bins along the parade route for bottle, can, and bead recycling at Mardi Gras
