Shirley Freriks will offer solutions for reducing and avoiding plastic waste. Presented by the Citizens Environmental Council, it will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Maple Meeting Room at the new Burlingame Community Center, 850 Burlingame Ave., Burlingame. Admission is free. Freriks, a strong advocate for recycling since the early 1990s, will suggest ways people reduce their own plastic usage, as well as inspire others in their community to do so. Following her presentation, Alexandra Rinear of Recology will explain how to make sure plastic gets recycled and doesn’t wind up in landfill, Laura Porter of Byrd’s Filling Station in San Mateo will promote shopping without using plastic, and Karen Noryko of Ridwell will introduce a service that picks up plastic for recycling from front porches. Ridwell is inviting each attendee to bring one bag of plastic film they would like to recycle at no cost; types accepted are described on the Ridwell.com website.
