2018 Keynote Speaker Biography
Keynote- Damon Carson, Repurposed Materials, Inc.
As founder and President of repurposedMATERIALS, Damon brings a unique, fresh take on the perennially hot topics of sustainability and Zero Waste. The “repurposing” concept will stimulate the creative juices amongst attendees about how to find a 2nd Life for waste. With a “repurposing” presentation, you would be engaged by something light, but still educational, to offset all the technical sessions…ie: the debits/credits lectures, the parts per million discussions, etc.
So, what is “repurposing”? It is taking a retired street sweeper brush and giving it a 2nd life as a backscratcher for horses or cattle. It is taking a decommissioned fire hose and giving it an extended life as a boat dock fender. It is taking an obsolete ski lift cable and giving it a second life as hand railing in a luxury condo building.
Our company – www.repurposedmaterialsinc.com - has helped a number of organizations through “repurposing”: US Army, Denver Broncos, City of Chicago, Nestles, BNSF Railroad, Oklahoma State University, Purina, US National Forest Service, Campbells Soup, State of Wyoming, Paramount Pictures, and many, many more.

HHW 101 Course Description:
Are you working with HHW and have no idea how to spell hazardous? Now is the time to get a basic understanding of HHW and how it relates to EPA, DOT, OSHA and other regulated agencies. We will talk about why it is called waste, but EPA does not consider it a waste. Through this session, we will look as some of the history related to HHW and other reasons that we may not only want to keep this material out of the landfill, but also get it out of our homes and garages. Do you want to be able to explain to homeowners why you call this material hazardous when they bought it at the big box store in the aisle next to the baby food? Plan for an exciting session with a nationwide presenter as well as sharing time with others across the states that do the same thing as you, but are not sure why!!

Workshop: Learn how you can build a campaign to advance recycling behavior change
MORA has partnered with the Social Marketing Association of North America to bring you a training about social and behavior change. Multiple disciplines will be discussed but the focus will be on social marketing -- not to be confused with social media marketing like Facebook and Twitter. Social marketing uses commercial marketing principles to influence human behavior for societal good.
This interactive 2 ½ hour training will give you various tools, strategies and case studies to help advance behavior change for social good. Participants will try out some inexpensive research techniques and create an outline of a marketing plan for a topic of their choosing. Following the training will be a free informal Social Marketing of Association Networking Event held off-site if attendees want to stay.
