We kick off Zero Waste Month on October 1st, a day filled with excitement as it marks the beginning of our efforts. It brings us joy to acknowledge the United Nations' declaration of March 30th as the International Day of Zero Waste. We honor both occasions, celebrating on March 30th and October 1st. Let us take proactive measures to minimize waste throughout the month of October, embracing #ZeroWasteMonth.
