Episode 32: My Zero Waste Store’s Cheryl Auger joins the show to talk about her upbringing and career in engineering, project management, and cybersecurity and how a chance conversation changed how she viewed plastic and recycling.
\nIn the summer of 2020, Cheryl opened My Zero Waste Store to reduce our dependence on plastics and to offer customers a more sustainable shopping experience. As of June 2022, My Zero Waste Store has eliminated more than 3.1 million pieces of plastic and recently received a 2022 Sustainable Earth Small Business Award. In addition to owning My Zero Waste Store, Cheryl is an environmental activist and leader of BAN SUP, a group dedicated to raising awareness and advocating for local and statewide legislation to reduce plastic in our communities.
