The heart +of Zero Waste is the acknowledgement that the Earth is a closed system +and humans cannot afford to convert precious natural resources into +landfill waste. -We'll also be recycling as much as possible, and we invite you to join -us in our efforts. +Please help us in being good stewards of the earth and working toward +a sustainable humanity.
