With Boston at a 17% recycling rate, ever wondered how San Francisco
manages to divert 75% of their discards to reuse, recycling, and
composting?
Clean Water Action invites YOU to a Zero Waste planning event for
residents, activists and advocates. It costs zero dollars to attend, and
you will waste no time whatsoever!
Join us on Monday, October 1, 2012 from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at the Community
Church of Boston (565 Boylston St., near Copley Sq.) Clean Water Action
will host a Zero Waste event for residents and others interested in
reducing the amount of waste going to transfer
stations, landfills, and incinerators. Download a flyer here:
