Race to Zero Waste would like to say THANK YOU to all our volunteers, sponsors, donors, and attendees for making our first Wild & Scenic Film Fest a success in 2020!

With over $3,000 raised, the money has been used to expand our Zero Waste Station Program in San Francisco and feature reuse bins at our existing stations.
PAST EVENTS
Zero Waste Action Month – October 2021
During Zero Waste Action Month, we turn the Race to Zero Waste into a SPRINT!
We invite you to participate by making an extra effort toward zero waste! Learn about and try something new and share on social media! We will also be highlighting expert voices and advocacy groups that are advancing the zero waste mission, so be sure to follow along!
Share your actions using hashtags #ZeroWasteActionMonth and #SprinttoZeroWaste. Be sure to tag us, too, @RacetoZeroWaste! You can share anything related to zero waste action (see our blog posts for ideas!), or you can follow our weekly themes. The first week is all about textiles! You can show off your favorite second-hand buy, something you made or repaired, a cool way to recycle or upcycle clothes, or any other idea you can come up with!

Halloween cleanup event & donation drive for HealthRIGHT360
We celebrated the last day of #ZeroWasteActionMonth on Halloween with our favorite costumes and fought the SpooOOooky litter that’s haunting Haight Street! We went out for a friendly neighborhood cleanup and donation drive alongside our partners Refuse Refuse SF, Value Culture, TogetherSF, Shine On SF, and SF Dept of Public Works!
Keep an eye out for the next Love Your Neighbor(hood) event!
Show no mercy against beach litter!
In celebration of CA Coastal Cleanup Day, we joined with Value Culture, Cobra Kai, and Refuse Refuse for a socially distant Beach Clean up on Sunday September 12th at Baker Beach, San Francisco. It was fun for all ages, including a complimentary Karate lesson from Zanshin Dojo!
