Zero Waste Toolkit

Where you spend your money matters.

By investing in zero-waste products and services, you’re sending companies and legislators a message. You’re telling them that you choose to support businesses that slash the amount of single-use packaging going to landfills and incinerators. Your actions make a difference!

But remember, individual actions alone will only take us so far. We need systemic change from businesses and legislators to truly solve our trash problem and protect our communities. Be part of the change by supporting these low-waste businesses!
