Zero Waste Week
September 1, 2025-September 5, 2025 -
USA, USA
For more than 15 years, folks have been celebrating Zero Waste Week as a time to turn their attention to the ways humans can live in the world with a smaller ecological footprint.
This event was an idea of Rachelle Strauss, who wanted to start a national campaign to lower the amount of waste that each person creates after experiencing the Bocastle flood of 2004.
This flood was a wake-up call for Strauss, who began fighting against manmade climate change that could be a contributing factor to such disasters.
Zero Waste Week was born in 2008, and since its inaugural celebration, it has been adopted by various organizations, municipal structures, non-profits, and other groups worldwide.
In fact, by the time this event celebrated its first decade, people from at least seventy-three countries were participating in Zero Waste Week.
