Zero Waste Yukon

Exciting that the Yukon Refillery is opening this Friday!

Our E-Waste drive as a part of #WasteReductionWeek was a huge success! We collected 1411 lbs (640 kg) of discarded electronics from 42 homes in Whitehorse. Many of the laptops, PCs, and monitors were donated to Computers for Schools Yukon. All other materials were taken to the E-Waste drop-off at Raven Recycling Society for recycling! Thank you to everyone who participated and we appreciated the enthusiasm.

A linear economy turns valued resources into waste. Zero Waste and circular economies aim to create sustainable economies as well as ecologies. . . . .... . #zerowaste #plastic #circulareconomy #reduce #reuse #recycle

Zero Waste is more than thinking about packaging. Industrial and commercial reform is critical. One of those tools is a transition from demolition to deconstruction and salvage of buildings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ijc7x5KVPPE
