Zero Waste Tips

Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Regift, Recycle!

When planning a picnic or outing, use reusable plates, cups, and utensils that you already have rather than buying disposable items.

Make your picnic drinks at home and pack your drinks in thermoses. Always carry your reusable water bottle.

When planning a picnic at the park or a day at the beach, pre-pack your cooler with ice or ice packs from home to save time and fuel by avoiding an extra stop.

Reduce your environmental footprint by using GPS technology or cell phones for directions rather than printing them on paper. 

Consider donating and purchasing used sporting equipment for growing children, seasonal items, or hobby-loving adults without spending an arm and a leg.
