Earlier this month, WWF’s Head of Plastic Waste and Business, Erin Simon took to Nat Hab’s Instagram to answer questions about recycling, reducing waste, and more. 

Thanks to social media, Erin answered user-submitted questions in real time while in her home. Questions ranged from the dangers of plastic in the oceans to recycling tips to addressing single-use plastic during COVID-19.  

In case you missed it, check out the recording below! 

In July of 2019, Erin Simon was a special guest expert on Nat Hab’s Zero Waste Adventure, a trip that was a travel industry first. Throughout the trip and afterward, she worked alongside Nat Hab to educate travelers about zero waste living and the impact of plastics. Erin also joined Nat Hab’s Daily Dose Webinar series with Court Whelan to discuss zero-waste practices while traveling.
