LA peeps: If you're interested in "rewilding" activities - planting, weeding, watering and seeing habitat come to life, join us and Citizens for Los Angeles Wildlife CLAW next weekend for volunteer fun: our Rewilding work party will be this coming Saturday, July 20th (always on the third Saturday of the month). We need to combat the summer heat with plenty of water to make sure our still-establishing plants will survive. At the SW corner of Laurel Canyon & Mulholland. https://www.clawonline.org/new-events-1

Holiday Recycling Do’s & Don’ts 🎁🎄❄️

12/18/2023

How many times have you gotten a gift that you didn’t really need or like? 🎁 When you give a gift that the person needs or has wanted for a long time, they’re way more likely to love it, take care of it, and use it for a long time, which also keeps more unnecessary stuff from landfills! If you want to take away the waste of a gift altogether, gift an experience like tickets to go somewhere fun, pay for a class they’ve always wanted to take, or even gift some good old fashioned quality time together.

Today’s goes to El Rio Community School! Our Zero Waste Reps were invited to their Winter Fair to educate students and families about trash, recycling, and sorting organics for composting. ♻️ We had a fantastic experience and look forward to more opportunities to be with this bright community. 🌱

Holiday season is here, and we love gathering with friends and family. However, according to the US Department of Agriculture, Americans waste around 30-40% of the food supply. EPA estimates household waste increases by about 25% during the holidays — Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. That is 1 million extra tons of waste, and 21% of that is food.

Lots of festive food and desserts end up being wasted because of lack of planning. But it is possible to have more sustainable & zero waste parties. All it takes is a little planning, taking
notes and asking specific questions. Try one or some or all of these tips and don’t forget to give us your feedback. Happy Holidays!
