Do you think of trash as an unavoidable byproduct of business? Does recycling seem like the only answer to America’s waste problem? The Grassroots Recycling Network would tell you to get your mind out of the garbage dump and stick it in front of the Zero Waste Resources Web site instead. This site is packed with information for rethinking waste. It promotes the Zero Waste philosophy, described by GRRN as “a way of thinking that profoundly changes our approach to resources and production.” The Zero Waste Basics section leads readers to ask critical questions about waste: Is this product necessary? What materials would minimize the environmental effects of this product? Read about the steps to eliminating waste in the Zero Waste Philosophy section. Browse the Agenda for Action to find a list of zero-waste objectives for local governments and manufacturers. Expect information and inspiration but not hands-on tools from this easy-to-read site.
