#DayWithoutWaste is this Thursday, April 9th

Join Sustrana for #DayWithoutWaste on April 9th!

According to their website,

There’s really not much to a Day Without Waste. You just photograph or otherwise catalogue your waste (we used group emails) and publicize the day and your results. We decided to have each person in our company record their waste for the whole day. The idea came out of a question about whether you could take trash home to make our office trash less! (Seriously, we have some competitive spirits.) We catalogued everything, but really focused on how much was going to the landfill versus composting and recycling.

We will be tweeting and hashtagging for a #daywithoutwaste again this year. We figured we don’t need a movement to B a movement!
