Zero Waste and Environmental Professional, Independent Consultant

Annette Poliwka is a Zero Waste Consultant and Commissioner for the City of Berkeley, which recently passed historic legislation on single-use disposables. Her work at the City of San Francisco focused on waste reduction for the commercial sector and legislation research (plastic bag, styrofoam bans). While in New York City at USEPA, she launched the Trash-Free Waters Program, and conducted research collecting samples of plastic pollution from Bermuda to New York. As a nature-based life coach, she supports ambitious, informed go-getters to define and achieve their goals, whether they are up-leveling their lives or developing projects that preserve the environment.
