Our waste crisis is scary & overwhelming. When it feels like there are no right answers and there is nowhere to turn, know that Just Zero is in your corner. This #GivingTuesday , we ask you to be in our corner. Consider making a donation today. buff.ly/3Rbjdjg

Every donation, no matter the amount, is a powerful resource that Just Zero will use to expand our work to enact innovative new laws that protect people and our planet, while also pushing back against polluting facilities that threaten our climate and health.

A little over a year ago, a handful of colleagues and I launched Just Zero, a new national environmental advocacy organization. In our first year we've already accomplished so much. But this is just the beginning. Today is #GivingTuesday , a day for global generosity.

Just Zero's Advisory Board Member, Mei Li of Food Waste Feast, has a special message in support of our work this #GivingTuesday ❤️. Help as we push for the right solutions to our #WasteCrisis .
