Zero Waste Caledon
Environmental Health is Directly Tied to Your Health
The Zero Waste Lifestyle

Welcome to the first in a series of articles focused on your well-being through environmental stewardship, protection and rehabilitation.

On August 24, 2019, the Mill Street location of the Orangeville Public library will be hosting speaker Nancy Lotecki-Neely at 10:30 am. She will be presenting a workshop on how to go “zero waste”. Register Here

“Zero waste” is an initiative whereby people learn to live more sustainably by eliminating (preferably) or reducing the waste they produce and haul to the curbside garbage collection every week. Reducing and eliminating waste and building proper domestic recycling infrastructure is going to be critical to a healthy future for Canadians. We all have to do our part to make this happen, but with such a big issue in front of us, what can we do as individuals?
