Zero Waste Week Challenge
"Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.”
— Jane Goodall
Basic Principles
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Compost
Stay away from single-use plastics and items (paper towels, disposable boxes, cups, etc).
​
Use reuseable straws, silverware, bags, water bottles, etc.
​
Recycle anything that can't be reused.
​
Compost natural waste or collect it for a local facility.
​
Minimize food waste.
Mason Jar Challenge
We understand zero waste isn't always possible!
Your challenge is to fit all waste for the week into a 32 oz mason jar.
Remember – waste is anything that would end up in a landfill.
Go Farther Than Zero Waste
Minimize meat consumption - livestock farming and fishing result in more gas emissions than transportation!​
Use less water in daily activities like showering, washing dishes, etc​.
Reduce purchasing new clothing items –fast fashion produces lots of pollution.
