About the event

The PHX2Zero lecture series is an annual event that brings in bright, passionate and innovative minds to speak about the importance of sustainability and zero waste. The goal of the lecture series is to inspire the community to take action and become environmental stewards. The lecture series is free and open to the public. The 2018 PHX2Zero lecture series brought in Bea Johnson, author of Zero Waste Home. This year's PHX2Zero Lecture Series will feature Juan D. Martinez.

From growing up in South Central Los Angeles, to becoming conscious of human impact on the environment, learn how Juan’s inspiring story evolved into a mission to get connected with nature and preserve our natural resources for future generations. Juan is the CEO of Leaders in Action LLC and the VP of Strategic Partnerships for the Children and Nature Network. He is also a TED speaker and a National Geographic Explorer.
