Hats off to Amber, our New England Zero Waste Organizer, for never being afraid to DIG IN to the issues!
She was joined by other local orgs to sort the contents of targeted public trash cans and note what we throw away now.
That way we can see the impact of new zero waste policies!

We've been awarded a @massdep.bsky.social Reduce, Reuse, Repair Microgrant!
We're working with @boston.gov, JP Zero Waste, @beyondplastics.bsky.social Greater Boston, and Recirclable to help restaurants on the Center/South JP Main Street incorporate zero waste practices!
Step 1: waste audit! (Ew!)

Siloxanes, parabens & other harmful chemicals shouldn’t be in our beauty products—but new ChemFORWARD research shows they still are, and major data gaps on ingredients still remain.
The good news? Washington state and retailers like Sephora & Ulta Beauty are leading the way toward safer beauty. 💄🌎
