In this brief, discover: 

  • Strategies to promote reuse, repair, and low-waste living
  • Interviews with leading thinkers on waste reduction
  • Solutions that benefit the economy and the environment

Our Climate & the Environment Initiative

Under pressure from over development and climate change, philanthropy can energize innovative solutions for our farms and forests, and help protect our natural resources.
