What do we know about the thin outer layer of fertile soil on the earth?

For millions of years life on earth has been sustained by that thin layer of soil which is the foundation of almost all life on this planet. It is a complex system of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids and living organisms that together support life.

We are at a point now where our planet faces its biggest test: An estimated 52 percent of that thin layer of soil is already degraded. If soil degradation continues, this would be the end of life as we know it.

81 percent of all food waste in USA goes to landfills. If we all compost our food waste we can regenerate our soil and save our planet.

Education is the central mission of A Zero Waste Culture.

We organize educational trips to water, sewer, recycling and incineration plants where students, educators, local government and community members learn exactly what happens to the trash we generate.

A Zero Waste Culture also brings to you, your organization or school, our Sustainable Zero Waste Educational Program with hands-on activities to teach the how-to of zero waste living, so that we can all learn how to combat climate change.

Alison Thompson, Founder of Third Wave Volunteers
“A Zero Waste Culture is leading the way into a sustainable future for all of us and we have much to learn from their inspiring ideas which were perhaps with us long ago before we lost our way to convenience”
