To build a global network of diverse sustainable leaders who can provide effective zero waste solutions to their communities.
Our movement focuses on developing local grassroots hubs who provide leadership in their own communities to solve some of our most pressing environmental challenges. Our coalition leadership network focuses on zero waste education and addresses challenges and foments solutions in the development of effective community action.

 We work with local leaders on zero waste activities at events, residential properties, schools, and commercial businesses to reduce waste by creating webinars and workshops to highlight best practices to avoid single-use disposables and foster a local, circular economy.

Race to Zero Waste actively seeks to learn from marginalized communities, especially those who are on the front lines of the fight for environmental justice and often the first to experience the effects of our changing climate. Race to Zero Waste recognizes that zero waste lifestyles and policies can not be implemented without special regard to social equity and environmental justice issues. We affirm that our movement has compassion and understand that people are often bound by circumstances in their ability to participate in a zero waste lifestyle. Whatever your circumstance, know that taking any action that is accessible to you is a step forward to show that we, as a society, are ready for systemic change.
