PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mary Stucklen will speak at the October Pittsfield Green Drinks event on Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 6:00 p.m. on Zoom.

Stucklen will talk about all things waste: reducing waste, easy ways to reuse, as well as how to compost and recycle effectively. She will also give out some simple tips and tricks that everyone can do to reduce the amount of waste they’re producing.

Stucklen is a local to the Berkshires and is a volunteer in the community. She has participated in various local green committees, waste-reduction programs, conservation commissions, and even began BEAT’s Berkshire Zero-Waste Initiative.

Most recently, Stucklen started a compost service named after her son, Tommy’s Compost, and is working to reduce waste in the Berkshires. When she isn’t talking about waste, she can be found kayaking, hiking, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors with her family.

This event will take place on Zoom and registration is required to join. Those interested can register at https://tinyurl.com/Oct2022-Green-Drinks

Pittsfield Green Drinks is sponsored by the Berkshire Environmental Action Team.
