A Zero Waste Culture

The climate crisis is one of
humanity’s major challenges

A Zero Waste Culture is a Miami based non-profit organization dedicated to help combat climate change and tackle inequity through hands-on, community based educational programs. We empower neighbors to live sustainably: to reuse and repurpose consumer goods, to reduce our carbon footprint and to take far reaching civic action.

Together we can help solve the systemic problem of out-of-control consumer waste, help mitigate climate change, and fight for climate justice.

Refuse Single Use Plastic

t-Tote fills the need for reusable bags

Textile waste is one of the leading pollutants in the World. With t-totes, we are providing a solution for both textile and plastic waste.

We realized that in our culture people are throwing out plenty of t-shirts for various reasons: they just simply lost interest in using them for variety of reasons, or many are handed out for promotion of businesses or events, and are used just once. What could we do with all these t-shirts people would eventually throw out? The t-Tote idea was born.

About Us

A Zero Waste Culture

A Zero Waste Culture was created with a sense of urgency to answer the question: “What can each of us do to tackle climate change?”

In January 2019, Helena Iturralde organized a series of educational tours to Miami’s Waste Management Recycling Facility to see how recycling was done. This proved to be a life changing experience as we learned that almost nothing is recycled.

A Zero Waste Culture (AZWC) non-profit was born to take immediate action. We created sustainable living programs for Miami’s local communities, many of which are in poverty. Our sustainable living mission grew to include entrepreneurial models to help those at greatest risk from climate change become self-sufficient.
