The recycling station in Longyearbyen

This dark season we take inspiration from an age-old form of public event the Lantern Lecture – a form of diversion and education from the 1870s through the early 1900s. The magic lantern illustrated scientific lectures, entertainment, current events discussion, political campaigns, missionary fundraising, and humanitarian causes.

Spooked by the idea of recycling…? Then fear no more, just come along to this fun and informative (maybe a little scary) lecture, Trash Talk! How to recycle on Svalbard and What you’re doing wrong hosted by Haakon Braathu, head of waste management for Lokalstyre. Haakon will discuss the main tasks of Longyearbyen lokalstyre waste handling department, the differences from the mainland in a waste perspective and future goals and challenges.

This event is free and takes place at Artica. No booking required.
