The zero waste movement is
spreading across the United States!

Many Americans look to Europe for
environmental solutions.

But there are thousands of organizations 
at work right now in the USA!

The Berkeley Tool Lending Library is a 
great example.

At this library you can check out more 
than just books.

You can check out dozens of 
different tools.

For gardening

Home repairs

DIY projects and more!

Sharing items like these reduces resources
needed by a community.

It allows items to be used over and over 
and repaired as needed.

If every community did this, we'd
drastically reduce our waste!

Amazing initiatives are popping up across
the nation.

From repair cafes where you can bring
broken stuff to be fixed,

to "Libraries of Things" where you can 
check out anything you imagine.

And clothing swaps to keep clothes
from the landfill.

At "The Fabrica" you can repair clothes 
and make goods with their

salvaged textiles.

At community bike shops you can learn to
fix your bike and use shared tools.

There are even programs to help
you share excess food.

The zero waste movement and the sharing
revolution are helping us

to clean up our planet and live more 
sustainable lives

while contributing to the local economy 
and supporting local jobs.

Share this video and be a part of the
zero waste movement!
