JOIN THE COWICHAN ZERO WASTE CHALLENGE!
Living a Zero Waste lifestyle means making little changes at home, work and school for the benefit of our region and our planet. Here are some easy ways to help:
REFUSE
REDUCE
REUSE
RECYCLE
RECOVER
Don’t buy, instead rent or share things that you only need occasionally such as camping gear and tools.
Buy in bulk (cleaning products, food) so you don’t pay for excessive packaging.
Prolong the life of useful items by donating them to charity or selling them online.
Recycle even the smallest scrap of metal, paper or other materials to create jobs and save huge amounts of energy.
Compost leftover food scraps in your backyard to create rich soil for your garden.
Learn more at ZeroWasteCowichan.ca The Zero Waste Challenge is part of the Cowichan Valley Regional District’s Solid Waste Management Plan. For more information, contact the CVRD Recycling Hotline at 250.746.2540 (1.800.665.3955 in Ladysmith), or email es@cvrd.bc.ca.
