2020 Zero Waste October

WHY ZERO WASTE OCTOBER?

This year, we are continuing this tradition to celebrate zero waste during the month of October.  We are, once again, calling on the campus community to join us in celebrating, highlighting and achieving zero waste through a diverse series of events and gatherings; Zero Waste October will be educational, productive, and invigorating.

As part of Zero Waste October, we will also be collaborating with SERC to support Earth Justice Month to recognize efforts on-campus and beyond and advocate for inclusive, equitable paths towards a racially, environmentally, and socially just future.

Zero Waste Month Challenge!

Try out a zero waste lifestyle this October with Cal Zero Waste! Here are 32 mini challenges — complete as many as you can this Zero Waste Month and see how zero waste you can be.
