Our mandate at Green Okanagan is to progress sustainability from an individual level. Guided by the belief that individuals can change the world, we hope to empower others in our community to make smart consumer choices and adapt their lifestyle to improve their overall sustainability.
A guiding focus of Green Okanagan is breaking down the zero waste lifestyle in an approachable way. Zero waste living is not a zero-sum game, there are small changes we can all make that add up to a big difference in the overall sustainability of our community and planet.
This Earth Day, we invite you to make a commitment to the Earth and journey towards zero waste.
Zero waste living is about lessening your consumption, simplifying your life, and becoming a smart consumer. By following the 5R’s of zero waste, you can lessen your impact on our planet:
