Discussing First Nations Waste Minimization

 

Jordan from First Nations Waste Minimization (FNWM) talked to us about the environmental impacts of our current food system and sustainable solutions for northern Manitoba. 

Name: Jordan Guiboche

Lives: Winnipeg

Occupation: Community Pathfinder at FNWM

Due to contamination, pollution and runoff communities report that they have to go further and further away to harvest animals suitable for eating.

The northern stores are the main contributors of household waste and typically they don’t responsibly manage the waste […] it’s up to the landfill staff to  deal with it […] bylaws need to be put in place so that people know how to deal with waste.

Thank you Jordan for taking the time to chat with us!
