Jan 20, 2015 01:13PM ● By Jeanne Fratello
Waste not, want not, as the old saying goes: Manhattan Beach residents will have an opportunity on Monday, January 26, to learn about moving toward a zero-waste ideal in their lives. Sponsored by the South Bay Environmental Services Center, the free Zero-Waste Workshop will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the South Bay Adult School location at Mira Costa High School (701 South Peck Avenue).
Zero waste is a philosophy that redesigns systems and resource use – from product design to disposal – to prevent wasteful and polluting practices. The workshop will cover an overview of the zero waste philosophy; the future of solid waste management; managing food, home, and office waste; environmentally friendly eating; and composting. Featured speakers include representatives from the Sanitation District of LA County and Manhattan Beach's own Grades of Green.
Manhattan Beach has a long history of environmental sensitivity and activism, as a community and as a city government. More details about the city's efforts to improve environmental sustainability can be found on its "Go Green" page.
