The EcoAction Committee of the Green Party of the US is hosting a webinar on Zero Waste on Monday, May 12th at 8 PM ET. Pre-registration is required here. https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/pUIrd74MSYaTbTL8puc7Yg
Zero waste, or waste minimization, is a set of principles focused on waste prevention that encourages redesigning resource life cycles so that all products are repurposed and/or reused. The goal of the movement is to avoid sending trash to landfills, incinerators, oceans, or any other part of the environment.
A waste-free society is essential to public health and the integrity and sustainability of the biosphere. Natural ecosystems are self-sustaining and generate no waste. We humans are a part of these ecosystems, and while we obtain resources from them, we have a responsibility to return only those things that can be re-absorbed without detriment. Waste is not an inevitable part of production and consumption, as it is viewed in the current economic model. (See Green platform)
