Welcome
Even just reducing waste has a massive impact on decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. By reducing the waste we produce at least one day a week, telling others and sharing information, we can have a tremendous impact.

FAQs
What is the big problem we're trying to solve?
Over two billion tonnes of waste are thrown away globally each year. Many individuals are unaware of the negative impacts of their daily waste-producing habits, especially on climate change.
What is the solution to that problem?
Waste-Free Wednesdays aims to combat the environmental impact of excessive waste production by addressing the lack of awareness and education on sustainable practices. We encourage individuals to eliminate or at least reduce their waste one day a week, and to use that experience to eliminate waste in their lives on other days.
How does Waste-Free Wednesdays help?
We are creating a community of practice where individuals, for at least one day a week, concentrate on leading a more sustainable lifestyle. In so doing, we hope to catalyze long-lasting behavior changes that go beyond a single day of the week.
Who are we, why do we exist,and why do we do what we do?
We are a group of passionate people who believe it is possible to live a full, rewarding life while eliminating or at least minimizing waste.
