Our Zero Waste Action Group

reduce, reuse, recycle, compost... need we say more?

 

What we've done:

• Ensured that these Transition Cheltenham events were Zero Waste by providing clearly marked containers for recycling& composting leaving very little residual waste destined to the landfill. ie at

• Gathering the Genius - May 2010

• The UnCar Picnic - June 2010

• Locavore Banquet & Mini Fest - Aug 2010

• Developed the Guide to Zero Waste in Cheltenham, based on the A to Z directory of local reuse & recycling options  developed by the Mt Airy Greening Net and the Zero Waste Resource List developed by Sustainable Cherry Hill, and our Township's own Public Works.

What we'd like to do:             

• Work toward Zero-Waste at all Township Events

• Popularize home composting

• Build and Install a food-scrap anaerobic digestion system within a local greenhouse

• Build a papercrete mixer

• Promote composting of organic waste at the household level and in schools and community gardens

• Support startup businesses that use materials from our waste stream as a primary input
