Inspired by these zero waste communities? We're launching the Zero Waste Masterplan at the end of this month - sign up to be among the first to learn how to empower your communities with zero waste solutions grounded in a just transition: https://t.co/MCVaJq0UIq #FiveDaysFiveWays
Thank you for @Breathefree313 for joining us for our closing #FiveDaysFiveWays chat, and for reminding us that a just transition is not only possible but within our reach! #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A4e: I hope Detroiters keep shutting down all these outdated polluting facilities and really show the nation what a new green deal could look like for a rust belt town. As Detroit is the engine for a new kind of future and we will continue to show the world how #FiveDaysFiveWays
.@Breathefree313 and @sugarlawjustice put together an incredible, comprehensive anti-gentrification resource for Detroit communities, take a look here: https://t.co/mZRyrNGXv1 #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A4b: We now work to ensure that our neighbors living near the incinerator are not pushed out by incoming gentrification and new development, by supporting community owned land, building a CLT, and providing resources through the Rooted We Rise guide. #FiveDaysFiveWays

@GAIAUS_CAN A4c: We created this anti-gentrification guide, Rooted We Rise https://t.co/aff9zExin5 with chapters of available resources for protecting homes from foreclosure, utility assistance, renter protection, legal assistance, civil liberty assistance, and more. #FiveDaysFiveWays

Q4: Here's our last question for you @Breathefree313 -- how can the people of Detroit stand up to protect their city and its environmental justice communities? #FiveDaysFiveWays
Here's how you can support @Breathefree313, a grassroots campaign in a former incinerator community that's now fighting for zero waste and against gentrification: #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
@GAIAUS_CAN A3c: A community land trust (CLT) is a good solution as it increases community participation, uplifts community voices, and supports overall community health. You can learn more about our CLT and donate if you are able: https://t.co/IwzbMuucKu #FiveDaysFiveWays
The closure of incinerators & other polluting facilities shouldn't mean the displacement of the people who fought for the right to breathe, but many communities face what some call "environmental gentrification" -- learn more from @Breathefree313: #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
@GAIAUS_CAN A3a: Environmental gentrification is what comes after an Environmental Justice community fights to shut down a polluting facility. It's when folks who live near these unhealthy facilities are then pushed out by new development once the pollution stops. #FiveDaysFiveWays
Q3: What does "environmental gentrification" look like in Detroit, and how is @Breathefree313 fighting against it while fighting for zero waste? #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
Community composting is one of the most popular zero waste initiatives, and with benefits to social infrastructure, the climate, food access, mental health, air quality, and soil health, it's definitely for a good reason! 🌟 #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A2b: Detroit is working to implement multi-scale composting to increase our landfill diversion rate, move toward a zero waste city and increase accessibility to healthy soil for gardens, parks, and green space projects. #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
Thanks, @Breathefree313! Keep an eye out for our soon-to-be-released Zero Waste Masterplan to learn more about how Detroit's Green Task Force is working to build a zero waste city! #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A2a: Detroit City Council Green Task Force (https://t.co/SeULqjTg92) is working closely with experts, professionals, community members and advocates to inform policies that support initiatives to increase recycling and establish composting citywide. #FiveDaysFiveWays

Q2: Burning waste is NOT a zero waste solution. What REAL zero waste solutions is @Breathefree313 fighting for in Detroit right now? #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
@GAIAUS_CAN A1d: A healthier system would separate and divert our waste, fill composts, and offset costs for reusables. Plastics wouldn’t clog up main arteries of our ecosystems and compost would provide healthy environments for microorganisms to thrive. #FiveDaysFiveWays #WasteJustice
Q1: Thanks for joining us @Breathefree313! Detroit's low-income communities & communities of color face multiple overlapping crises every day, from the pandemic & evictions to systemic racism & food insecurity - why should people care about waste in this moment? #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A5. We also need our City to redirect funding used to support burning to support Zero Waste programs. We are pleased that our City and @BaltimoreDPW will be following Baltimore’s Zero Waste Plan by rolling out 65 gallon recycling carts for all residents in 2021 #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A1. The Wheelabrator BRESCO incinerator is the single biggest threat to Baltimore’s just transition to Zero Waste. The incinerator demands more waste than Baltimore creates and it depends on Baltimore not getting serious about implementing its Zero Waste Plan...#FiveDaysFiveWays
Zero waste creates jobs: #FiveDaysFiveWays
@GAIAUS_CAN A6. This means millions of $ in public investment for union and worker owned Zero Waste infrastructure creating 1,800 jobs. @CouncilPresBMS #FiveDaysFiveWays
