OPPD: Eric BenSalah, an Energy Consultant and educator with Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), will discuss energy efficiency and conservation. He will provide insight on how to reduce energy usage and by proxy, reduce your carbon footprint, on an individual scale.
Exist Green: Leigh Neary, an environmental engineer, will speak on the importance of a low/no-waste business model and its impacts on your health and the environment. Spending a decade cleaning up contaminated sites, Neary became frustrated by the relentless cycle of pollution. She began to view waste as more than what “goes into the bin.” In her eyes, it’s also what flows down the drain and the upstream effects as the result of our purchases. Neary started by doing the work to reduce her personal exposure to petroleum-based products and shrink her overall footprint. Shortly after, in May 2019, she launched Exist Green - located at 4919 Underwood Avenue in Omaha’s Dundee neighborhood. As the first zero-waste market in the Midwest, Exist Green empowers others to make thoughtful, low-impact choices that protect personal health and the planet.
