#00007Lack of accessible recycling infrastructure
Many neighborhoods have no curbside recycling, and drop-off centers are too far away for people without cars. This makes even willing residents unable to recycle effectively.
Reduce household waste
#00001
Every year, millions of tons of waste end up in landfills. We need innovative solutions to reduce household waste and promote recycling.
#00008Single-use plastic alternatives are too expensive
Reusable and biodegradable alternatives exist but cost 3-5x more than plastic equivalents. For families on tight budgets, choosing sustainable options is a luxury they cannot afford.
#00009Low awareness of composting in urban areas
Most urban residents don't know how to compost or think it requires a backyard. Apartment dwellers especially lack options and knowledge about indoor composting methods like vermicomposting or bokashi.
