“Reuse is a chance to engage worker-owned businesses in transforming waste management in a way that puts people first, keeps costs low, protects the environment, and supports Main Street instead of Wall Street.”
-Kelley Dennings, Senior Campaigner, @biologicaldiversity.org

Of the 40 million tons of plastic waste generated in the U.S. in 2021, only 5% to 6% — or about 2 million tons — was recycled. Instead, more Americans are rejecting single-use plastic and embracing reusable alternatives for packaging, foodware, and shipping. www.unep.org/plastic-poll...

Reuse delivers meaningful economic benefits like reducing litter cleanup costs while also creating jobs. Reuse programs can generate more than 30 times more jobs than disposal facilities, which is more than double the number created by recycling. upstreamsolutions.org/reuse-vs-sin...

Food justice recognizes access to healthy and culturally appropriate food as a basic human right. It’s about more than just having enough fresh food to eat — it’s also about agricultural heritage; BIPOC-led land reclamation; and food sovereignty.
