Zero Waste Sonoma County

Zero Waste Sonoma County is a small group of advocates helping Sonoma County, the Bay Area, California and the whole world move toward economies in which waste has been designed out of the system. Our focus is on research, outreach, workshop development and presentations to community groups and city councils.

In early 2010 ZWSC produced three landfill issues and zero waste communities events co-sponsored by the Sonoma County Conservation Council and Sierra Club, Sonoma Group as well as Urban Ore, Inc. and Global Material Recovery Services:

-- January 6, Sonoma County Waste Management System Discussion, Sonoma County Environmental Center
-- March 6, Turning the Tide on Waste, Sebastopol Veterans Auditorium
-- April 29, The Climate Impacts - of Waste and Local Green Businesses, Santa Rosa City Council Chambers, also sponsored by the League of Women Voters

We are now focused on promoting discussion of the LTF document entitled Planning For Zero Waste In Sonoma County (more on that soon) and the Zero Waste Brain Trust which is explained on the next page .
