International Day of Zero Waste 2026

Zero Waste Day calls on people, governments and organizations around the world to take concrete action to prevent waste, advance circular solutions and strengthen zero waste food systems.

This year’s theme, Food Waste, highlights a critical yet preventable driver of environmental harm. Nearly 19% of all food available to consumers is wasted every year, accelerating climate emissions and draining valuable resources such as land, water and energy.

Around 60% of food waste happens at the household level, which means our everyday choices truly matter. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective climate actions we can take, while also saving money and protecting resources.

Actions you can take to tackle food waste: 📝 Plan, buy, store and prepare food mindfully 🫴 Support food recovery, redistribution and composting initiatives 🥕 Through everyday actions, help make food waste socially unacceptable

Let’s value food, not waste it!

International Women’s Day is on 8 March 2026. This year’s theme is ”Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.”

Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 7, goes as follows: ”All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.” Yet in 2026, women hold only 64% of the legal rights that men have worldwide.

Justice doesn’t just happen. To take action, support equality work locally by getting involved in associations like TAYK, learn about gender equality, challenge discrimination and share the message using .

——

Kansainvälistä naistenpäivää vietetään 8.3.2026. Tämän vuoden teema on ”Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls.”

Ihmisoikeuksien yleismaallisen julistuksen artikla 7 mukaan ”Kaikki ovat yhdenvertaisia lain edessä ja oikeutettuja ilman syrjintää yhtäläiseen lain suojaan.” Silti vuonna 2026 naisilla on maailmanlaajuisesti vain 64% niistä laillisista oikeuksista, jotka miehillä on.

Oikeudenmukaisuus ei tapahdu itsestään. Edistä tasa-arvoa paikallisesti liittymällä järjestöihin kuten TAYK, opi sukupuolten tasa-arvosta, puutu syrjintään ja jaa aiheesta käyttämällä .
