The United States is in a waste crisis. The way we produce, manage, and dispose of materials is harming public health, the environment, and our climate. People and our planet deserve solutions with zero climate-damaging emissions and zero toxic exposures. We need to rethink and redesign our systems to be more sustainable. Zero Waste programs and policies can do that.
Join us on Thursday, June 8 at 3:00pm (EDT) for the third episode of Just Zero’s webinar series, Getting to Zero Waste in the U.S. – Leaving False Solutions Behind, where experts will discuss false solutions to the plastic and waste crises that the fossil fuel industry are pushing and how environmental advocates are pushing back.
