About Event

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.

About the Host: A Greener Future (est. 2014) - Environmental nonprofit specializing in Great Lakes protection through community cleanups and data collection. Since 2016, we've engaged 8,000+ volunteers in removing nearly 2 million pieces of litter from Lake Ontario's shoreline.
