EE Resources
New Zero Waste Resource Kit One Cool Earth, a school garden sup-
port organization in San Luis Obsipo Coun- ty, CA, has created a Zero Waste resource kit developed through National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grant funding in 2016 - 2017. To support the adoption of Zero Waste practices at schools everywhere, One Cool Earth created a free DIY Guide to Zero Waste. The concise, step-by-step handbook on how to cultivate a trash-free school is available online. The guide includes easy-to-understand graphics and training videos (starring SLO County students) so schools have everything they need to get their own compost and recy- cling systems up and running.
