Webinar – Sustainable Shopping: Family Feud Style!
Join the WE-Solation team as we co-host a fun, engaging, family-friendly game show live on Zoom. We’ll be joined by two teams who will test their sustainable shopping knowledge in classic Family Feud style! Following the gameshow, we’ll share our personal recommendations for sustainable shopping here in the city, and answer any questions you may have!

Adrianna Couto- Inwit
Adrianna has dedicated her life to ventures and organizations working for the betterment of people and the planet, and lives a low-waste lifestyle with her husband and poochie here in Toronto. Last spring, Adrianna launched a waste reduction initiative, Beaches Reduces, to encourage local residents to BYO containers and skip the harmful disposables. Through a collaborative partnership with Erika Reyes, she also co-founded “Zero Waste Cafe”, a monthly eco-speaker series, “Zero Waste Dine & Learn”, a workshop series focused on reducing our carbon footprint, and “Green Sunday”, a holiday market and artistic showcase that encourages consumers to rethink the way they shop by choosing companies with business models that put people and the planet first. Today she is working on the development of Inwit, a startup that aims to make sustainability irresistible to all Torontonians. From organizing and managing local eco-events and shoreline cleanups, to workshop facilitation and public speaking, everything she does is rooted within a deep unrelenting consideration for sustainability and social justice.
Erika Reyes- Inwit
Erika is a creative marketing expert with over 7 years’ international experience in branding and customer behaviour. Erika has worked developing strategic partnerships with over 200 businesses in Mexico, UAE, the U.K. and Canada. In 2018, she started to realize that as a Marketer, her job was to take a “product” and influence, someone, to purchase it. The truth is, little to no thought was spared to the environmental or social impact of the product. She made the choice to leave the Marketing industry in 2019 to dedicate what she learned in that field to help create awareness and alternatives to global environmental issues. Erika has worked developing strategic relationships with 20+ reusables programs across the world, learning the best practices and new strategies in sustainability. In early 2020 she implemented Wisebox, Toronto’s first reusable take out container program city wide. Today she is using all the learnings into the development of Inwit, a startup that aims to make sustainability irresistible to all Torontonians.
