Climate Investigation Cleanup: The Consumption Catalyst
Attention Climate Investigators! We're pursuing the Consumption Catalyst - food wrappers that enable overconsumption while resisting all attempts at recycling. These multi-material criminals combine plastic, aluminum, and paper to create permanent pollution while driving the consumption patterns that fuel climate change.
Join this 2-hour investigation at Humber Bay Park West: 90 minutes gathering evidence (shoreline cleanup) plus 15 minutes analyzing how packaging design manipulates consumer behaviour and requires energy-intensive mining and petroleum processing. You'll protect this restored waterfront while learning about zero-waste solutions.
No prior detective experience required! All investigation equipment will be provided. Perfect for first-time volunteers, families, students (community service hours available), and anyone seeking climate action with immediate, visible results. Rain or shine.
