About The Zero Waste List

We are sustainability-minded individuals trying to make sustainability and zero waste a more approachable and achievable goal. Our mission is to help others reduce their impact on the environment through the use of more sustainable, plastic-free products, easy-to-execute lifestyle changes, and the support of organizations that support a greener world.
