All funds raised this evening will go to Alianza Cero Basura, a citizen coalition whose ultimate goal is a community united to produce less waste, take responsibility for the waste it does produce, and support a circular economy in which waste is repurposed by vibrant local businesses. This fundraiser will support the five programs of Alianza Cero Basura's two-year strategic plan: community engagement, school engagement, waste separation, waste reduction and organic waste management. This is your chance to hear all about it!
