Each year, Zero Waste Marin runs a community-wide campaign focused on helping residents reduce their waste. These campaigns have focused on using reusables, giving experiences instead of things as gifts, and most recently, on reducing food waste. See all previous campaigns on this page.

Many items these days arrive swamped in unnecessary packaging, are used once and then get tossed. Too often, these “convenient” items lead to an inconvenient problem: Waste! This stuff takes up a lot of space in the landfill. Often it doesn’t make it to the landfill and instead becomes ugly and unhealthy pollution.
We can reduce the amount of waste.
Turning down the volume means:
What’s more, often these solutions are more efficient, more attractive and/or save money. For example:
Too many everyday items – such as paper or plastic cups and bags – are designed to be used once and then thrown away. That may feel convenient, but there is a long-term cost: litter, pollution and waste.
Instead of trashing single-use stuff, there’s a better way: Choose Reusables EVERY Time!
When you make it a habit to choose reusable cups, bags and other items, you’re taking a stand against waste and litter…and you’ll look good, too!
Give your loved ones gifts they’ll never forget. “Stuff” eventually ends up in the landfill, but memories last a lifetime. Think beyond the box and give them fun experiences!
