IMPACT PROGRAMS
More than 40% of our climate impact comes from our “consumption emissions”—or how we extract, consume, and dispose of our stuff and our food. As one of the leading Zero Waste organizations in the world, Eco-Cycle is prioritizing three major solutions to reduce and even reverse these emissions.
The Urgency to Reduce Plastics
Plastic pollution is choking the planet. We must take action NOW.
Composting & Carbon Farming
Applying compost to landscapes builds healthier soils, and helps reverse climate change.
