Zero Waste Chicago

You can fight climate change by cutting food waste! When you trash your spoiled food, it emits climate pollutants in landfills.

Did you know that only 13% of all recyclables are recycled? Not only should this remind you to recycle more, try using less raw materials in general!

Action Alert: Call your Alder! For months we tried to advocate for an equitable policy however there is no significant progress. We are now asking to suspend the new requirements so sites can have access to water this season! #HydrantAccessNow #WaterAccessForAll #AUAChicago

@ILComposts Go @GlanbiaPN !

Many community gardens/farms in Chicago do not have access to water this growing season because of new policies, permits, fees for hydrant usage. Sign this petition to the City demanding equitable water access @AUAChicago change.org/p/chicago-mayo…
