Dates for 2023:
Sept 4th-8th
Zero Waste Week is almost here …
As announced last year, owing to an unexpected health diagnosis, things are changing for Zero Waste Week.
But that’s exciting too, as it means the week has grown up and finally flies the nest – just as my daughter did at the beginning of this year. All very metaphorical!
15 years ago, the first campaign was launched with 100 people taking part.
Over the years, the reach has grown exponentially, awards have been given, press coverage has reached every corner of the globe, an award-winning film has been made, the hashtag has trended, dissertations on the power of online communities have been written (spoiler alter – it’s super powerful!) Christmas cards from the Prime Minister have been received (!) and millions of you have taken the week and made it your own.
That can only mean one thing!
It’s time for me and the Zero Waste Week team to kick back, chill out and know that you’re going to do a great job this year of taking care of yourselves.
Here’s what to do next:
· Mark 4th – 8th September in your calendar.
· Help yourself to resource packs available for individuals, schools, universities, businesses, community groups and local authorities. Some are free, others I ask for donations to help fund site running costs. There are also three full resources for schools and businesses to ensure you deliver your own successful Zero Waste Week.
· Download free images and logos to use on social media and in your newsletters.
· Search the blog for content from previous years to find ideas and inspiration. And read the FAQs to discover more.
I look forward to seeing all your fantastic activities, ideas and inspiration during the week. If you share your activities on social media, please use the following so I can see them:
