Zero Waste Events

What Does Zero Waste Mean?
"If it can't be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished,
refinished, resold, recycled, or composted, then it should be
restricted, redesigned, or removed from production."

 The Alchemical Nursery Project has organized two zero waste events to date.

1) An Earth Day event at the Lipe Art Park over on Fayette Street, where we built three Compost bins to handle the food scraps and paper plates and napkins from the event.

2) A zero waste initiative for the 40 Below Summit, a city-wide event held on October 18, 2008, from which we captured one large bag of recyclables and random non-compostable bits of whathaveyou that we will document with photographs, wash, and stuff our pillows with.... And about two full bags of Organic waste, which has been composted. Not too shabby. And what about landfill material? None.
