The Race to Zero Waste is an urgent call to advocate for an equitable circular economy. October is #zerowastemonth.
About us
Race to Zero Waste is a nonprofit that brings the vision of Zero Waste to reality by taking action! Race to Zero Waste (R20W) is devoted to educating individuals on zero waste principles and simple actions through reuse, source reduction, re-earth, and avoidance of single-use plastics. R20W provides fun and engaging fundraising platforms through sponsored activities with information and tips geared toward waste-free living, promoting healthy and vibrant communities, and engagement of stakeholders. In addition, our team also provides fee-for-service work through its project Zero Waste California to special events, businesses, and institutions by providing outreach, education, zero waste audits, technical assistance, and implementation. Zero Waste principles will help heal our planet and protect its resources through resource conservation. These efforts can have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. With our climate changing, there is an urgency to educate ourselves on its impact and how to prevent irreversible trends. The time is now for all of us to Race to Zero Waste!

What are YOUR thoughts on Signet's shift to 'ethical bling' as described by Stacy? Let us know! #ZeroWasteMonth #CircularEconomy
CEO, Zero Waste Strategies | TRUE Advisor | Business waste reduction for cost savings & a green marketing edge | Public Speaker | Board Member | Published Author | Former professional dancer & choreographer 🩰
💍💎ETHICAL BLING? Signet Jewelers, parent company of ZALES JEWELERS & Kay Jewelers, launched a new trade-in program that has recovered $35 million worth of gold, silver, and diamonds in the past year alone! Unfortunately, much of the jewelry industry drives civil unrest and forced child labor for cheap extraction. Could this help lessen the demand for these virgin precious metals and gems?
