ABOUT LIZ:
Liz is the founder of Why Get Wasted, a company that helps your events go low-waste. As an entrepreneur with a background in fashion, she has also always been passionate about the environment and living a low-waste lifestyle. When working in fashion, Liz noticed that the fashion week shows, frequent parties, and photoshoots all created a lot of unnecessary waste. This was of course not unique to fashion. It extended to all the events she attended such as startup launches and demo days, tech week events, political fundraisers … overall events in general.As someone who loves attending events, and throwing them herself (both personally and professionally), Liz had made sure her own events were as low-waste as possible.This is a knowledge she loves bringing to other events, understanding how time consuming planning events is. While many companies care about causing less impact on the environment, planning and coordinating events is highly demanding, with little time left over to focus on all of the details of keeling the event eco-friendly. Liz founded Why Get Wasted over quarantine, as a promise to herself, that once the world could gather in groups again, she would use her knowledge of low-waste to help events have less impact on the environment. Liz believes that every bit of improvement has an impact, and the team at Why Get Wasted will work with companies and people to take the level of steps they feel comfortable with. No judgement. No pressure. Every little bit helps!Liz is also eco-director of the Manhattan Young Democrats and splits her time between New York and LA.
