Samantha Leigh, Quest student: There's No Such Thing as 'Garbage'!

Samantha Leigh is a 4th-year student at Quest University who has studied waste management since her first year. She received the Quest FortisBC Research Grant, and Quest Summer Fellowship to conduct research, and has taken opportunities throughout her Quest courses to look at waste management issues through a variety of lenses. When she’s not doing homework, she loves exploring the forests and rivers near Squamish and finds special comfort in sitting by the estuary and watching the tide and clouds come in.

Samantha will share key lessons she has learned about effective waste management in Squamish, summarizing her research and experiences at Quest along with what she observed during her research in Squamish this summer. She hopes to continue her work and outreach, and to find simple solutions that help Squamish businesses improve their waste management systems as she completes her final year. She recently spoke at a TEDxQuestu event about some of her work. view at  https://youtu.be/xJYQafRwIv0
