Zero Waste San Diego

Our mission is to create, promote, and manage zero waste programs and events, advocate for resource management policy change, and educate people on how they can move toward a sustainable lifestyle.

Zero Waste San Diego promotes and manages zero waste programs and events, advocates for policy changes that promote a zero waste society, and educates people on how they can reduce the effects of climate change through sustainable resource management.



We want to change the way society thinks about Earth's resources so we can collectively change our behavior around what we consume. When we understand that our discards are actually resources and how we interact with them matter, we can start making a real difference toward achieving zero waste.



Through education, awareness, and action, we, as consumers, have the power to change our lives, our community, and the planet for the better.



And it starts with how we manage our resources.
