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!
