Are you striving to be better about remembering your reusable grocery bags? Keep a stash handy in your car or right by the door as you leave your house! Remembering your reusable bags means reducing plastic and avoiding the bag fee 🙅🏻‍♀️ win win!

Looking to make a positive climate impact, but don’t know where to start? Start at home by finishing your food and eating it ALL up! Wasting food wastes water, resources, energy, and money. We waste so much food, in fact, that if global food waste were a country, it would be the 3rd largest emitter in the world behind the US and China 😱 We can all make a positive impact on waste and climate change by committing to reduce food waste!

To reduce food waste, we need to finish up our food at home! Food date labels like “best by” and “use by” only indicate peak freshness or flavor, not food safety (except on baby food). Rather than tossing all of your eggs when they’re past the best by or use by date, try this simple test! Place an egg in a glass of water; if it sinks to the bottom, it’s still good. If it stands upright on the bottom, it should be eaten soon. If it floats on top, it is likely no longer good 🥚 #reducefoodwaste #reducefoodwasteathome #zerowastemarin #foodwasteprevention

Did you know that 30-40% of all the food we produce globally is never eaten by anyone? 😱😢 Fighting food waste helps us to fight climate change by reducing wasted energy, emissions, and resources from producing food. Reduce food waste in your home by eating it all up and getting creative - eat your berries fresh, in a smoothie, or baked into a dessert! 🍓🫐 What’s your favorite way to reduce food waste?

Zero Waste Marin staff have been busy all over Marin this week at Earth Day events! We’ve enjoyed speaking with community members about reducing waste and practicing the principles of Earth Day, every day! ♻️🌎

It’s officially Earth Day!! 🌎🦋🌱🌈🌸

It’s officially Earth Day!! 🌎🦋🌱🌈🌸 The very first Earth Day was held on April 22nd, 1970. The goal was to engage students to protest environmental destruction, but the idea caught on and 20 million Americans took part in Earth Day events across the country. This led to the creation of the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 and the passage of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. This Earth Day, we encourage you to take action every single day by keeping food scraps, plant materials, and soiled paper out of landfill by composting 🌱 What else are you doing to celebrate Earth Day?
