ACEnet takes the Zero Waste Pledge!
Rural Action's Zero Waste Pledge Program encourages local organizations to strive for zero waste. They help businesses and organizations achieve their goals by working one-on-one with them to identify waste that is being produced and ways to reduce it. The zero waste pledge shows the business is committed to using natural resources wisely, increasing its environmental consciousness, and supporting the local economy through waste reduction, recycling, composting, and reuse.
We're happy to announce that we have taken the Zero Waste Pledge! While we are already diverting over ½ of our waste stream from landfills, we're excited to recycle & compost even more!
