Zero Waste:
- redesigns the current, one-way industrial system into a circular system modeled on Nature's successful strategies
- challenges badly designed business systems that "use too many resources to make too few people more productive"
- addresses, through job creation and civic participation, increasing wastage of human resources and erosion of democracy
- helps communities achieve a local economy that operates efficiently, sustains good jobs, and provides a measure of self-sufficiency.
- aims to eliminate rather than manage waste
|
Zero Waste makes recycling a powerful entry point into a critique of excessive consumption, waste, corporate irresponsibility, and the fundamental causes of environmental destruction.
