?? In the US alone, an estimated 200 million pounds of turkey are thrown away after Thanksgiving each year! Here’s how to prep to minimize waste and keep food out of landfills this holiday season: ?? ?? Plan Ahead: Use a simple calculation of 1-1.5 pounds of food per adult. Add a little more if you're planning to have folks take home any leftovers. For more accuracy, try the "Guest-imator" app to prep foods based on headcount without leftovers. (savethefood.com) ?? Serve Smaller Portions: It's better to have guests go back for seconds than to have piles of leftovers. Consider offering multiple smaller servings rather than one large plate. ?? Repurpose Leftovers: After the meal, think creatively about how to reuse leftovers—turkey soup, mashed potato patties, or veggie stir-fries are great options. ?? Donate Goods: Help restock your local food bank by cleaning out your pantry and gifting any unused, non-perishable items, such as canned and boxed foods. ?? Compost: Make sure any scraps like fruit & veggie peels, egg shells, and unwanted food are composted, not trashed. It’s an easy way to reduce landfill impact and feed your garden! #Thanksgiving #FoodWaste #ZeroWaste #Sustainability #Composting #WasteReduction #GreenLiving (h/t GreenBlue Org)

CEO, Zero Waste Strategies | TRUE Advisor | I help businesses reduce waste for cost savings & a green marketing edge | Public Speaker | Board Member | Published Author | Former professional dancer & choreographer ??
We often see #energy and #water conservation highlighted as the key focus areas in business #sustainability, but there’s one aspect that requires an entirely different level of effort >>>>> waste diversion.? Why? Because waste is tangible. It's something we see, touch, and produce every single day. Unlike energy and water conservation which are often abstract concepts for most people, waste generation is immediate, visible, and personal. ?? We can smell the overflowing dumpsters. ?? We can see piles of food in the trash bins. ?? We can see plastic bags tangled in trees. ?? We can feel the impact on our environment in real time. Waste diversion isn’t just about reducing numbers on a report—it requires individual habit changes, operational shifts, and a commitment to rethink how materials are used, reused, and disposed of within the #ZeroWaste hierarchy "for highest and best use". The good news? The payoff is incredible! ?? Think of this in terms of business benefits, such as: 1?? Cost reduction 2?? Green marketing 3?? Deeper customer loyalty 4?? Boosting employee morale 5?? Recruiting & retaining top-tier talent 6?? Edging out your industry competition 7?? Making investors & shareholders happy With all this said, we're here to help! If your business is interested in a free 30-minute consultation, please contact us! ? 512-693-7677 ?? 0waste.org #WasteDiversion #Sustainability #GreenOperations #CircularEconomy #GreenBusiness #WasteNot #ZeroWasteHierarchy

It’s #AmericaRecyclesDay!! But did you know it started in Texas?????
CEO, Zero Waste Strategies | TRUE Advisor | I help businesses reduce waste for cost savings & a green marketing edge | Public Speaker | Board Member | Published Author | Former professional dancer & choreographer ??
It’s #AmericaRecyclesDay, but did you know it all started in Texas?! ???? This year marks the 27th anniversary of this national event highlighting waste reduction, recycling, and keeping stuff out of landfills! ARD goes back more than two decades to the state of Texas. Yes, we owe the great Republic of Texas for the seeds of a national celebration for recycling. Texas Recycles Day began in 1994 as the brainchild of two employees of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Kevin Tuerff and Valerie Salinas-Davis. Their idea was to promote recycling through a six-week campaign to boost recycling in the state. Keeping in mind Earth Day and needing to select a date that was after Election Day and before the holidays, they chose November 15 as Texas Recycles Day. When Kevin and Valerie left their state jobs and started EnviroMedia, an Austin based public relations and advertising agency focused on environmental issues, they proposed transforming Texas Recycles Day into America Recycles Day. They presented the concept at the National Recycling Coalition’s Congress, and it was embraced immediately. The first national run of America Recycles Day was on November 15, 1997. The National Recycling Coalition (NRC) pre-announced the event through a kickoff parade at the NRC 16th Annual Congress & Exposition in Orlando, FL. This parade gathered 2,000+ recycling members for educational sessions and national policy development. On October 1, 1997, the NRC and the United States Environmental Protection Agency co-sponsored a national press conference at the White House Conference Center, featuring Vice President Al Gore as honorary Chair for the event. The theme was “Buy Recycled” and the press conference featured a model store filled with recycled-content products. A raffle was offered to those who signed recycling pledge cards, with the raffle winner receiving a free “American Green Dream House,” a home built with recycled-content and energy-efficient products. At least 40 states participated in the first America Recycles Day! ?? By Bob Gedert for the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation - https://lnkd.in/gpuxxKHb

During yesterday’s #WomenInCircularity panel at the Resource Recycling, Inc. conference, I had the opportunity to champion #GenZ and the incredible contributions to #ZeroWaste and #Climate they’ve provided. Stacy Savage, founder and CEO of Zero Waste Strategies said, “People in the older generations were given the opportunity to lead at very young ages.” She advised current leaders to give young employees chances by “bringing them into the fold, incorporating their ideas – collaboration is key – and giving them the opportunity to lead.”
