We're on a mission to reduce municipal solid waste (MSW) to ZERO by 2050 by giving YOU the power to reduce, reuse, recycle and see the $$$ results.

Ultimately, waste reduction and reuse of materials is the cleanest way to eliminate waste and the carbon emissions that come as a result, but in the interim, gasification of waste we produce can transition us to zero-landfill, zero-carbon global economy.

As I was sitting in Starbucks in China, I noticed they replaced the plastic straws with paper straws, and it worked pretty well.

Upwards of 25% of returns are just landfilled. Groups like @WorldVision & @Optoroinc as well as retailers themselves are working hard to tackle this problem. And governments, like France, are planning on banning landfilling wasted inventory. #zerowaste

Some microplastics come from our waste plastic breaking apart, but some comes from the manufacturing of the plastic we will later go on to throw out.

This is a nice little summary of the origins of recycling, how it evolved, and the problems we face today, and some everyday things we can each do to improve our situation. Hint: recycling is only the 3rd step after 2 more important ones.

E-cycling, like plastic recycling, is one of many broken promises in our global waste epidemic. The course can be reversed, but will require political and moral will.
