Green Success Stories sat down with Tory McBrien-Vranken, Connecticut Program Coordinator for WasteZero. Tory described her sustainability journey, including her shift from individual actions to a systemic approach. As Connecticut Program Coordinator for WasteZero she is leading the way on initiatives that transform how we manage waste—recycling, trash, and food scraps—at a community-wide level, including the Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) solution that can reduce waste by 44%! Tory hopes readers learn that small, systemic changes can have a huge ripple effect in the fight against climate change.
