We are excited to announce that for our COPPP29 event, we will be collaborating with the Edinburgh Circular Economy Network.
The Edinburgh Circular Economy Network is a cross-sector network with the aim to facilitate connection, collaboration and knowledge sharing to support the development, growth and measurement of circular initiatives in and around Edinburgh.
The network includes individuals from private, nonprofit and public sectors. Founding members range from local Universities, local businesses, the finance sector, early stage start-ups, technology businesses and consultants to leaders of local charities and interested members of the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce and Zero Waste Scotland.
We are excited to have Mary Michel as our guest speaker!
Mary Michel is the co-Founder and Director of Ostrero, which works to grow the Circular Economy in Scotland through mindset change and education. She is interested in how alternative economies can bring about a fairer world for society and the planet. Mary is a Trustee of Circular Communities Scotland.

Your local meetup is a great place to start your journey or continue learning, and meet diverse people to chat about life and how we can sustain it. Every job is a climate job, so come along and learn about how you can take action, as well as what is going on locally.
We welcome everyone, regardless of their experience or background. People Planet Pint is a space where everyone can feel comfortable learning about sustainability and sharing their ideas.
Afterall, creating a sustainable future requires connected communities. And what better way to bring everyone together than over a drink?
