"...a group of committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
Margaret Mead - Cultural Anthropologist
Alianza Cero Basura (ACB) of Todos Santos and Pescadero is a diverse and inclusive network that works across sectors to promote collaboration, influence policy, and catalyze transformation in the waste management systems of Todos Santos and El Pescadero. Our work is grounded in a shared vision for change and is informed by the experience and expertise of our network and the broader community.
Our mission is to create Mexico’s first zero waste tourism destination by dramatically improving local waste management systems and changing the relationship our community has with trash. Our goal in doing so is to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities, our environment, and our economy, and to contribute as a community to the global climate agenda.
Ultimately, we want to be a united community that produces less waste, takes responsibility for the waste it does produce, and supports a circular economy in which waste is repurposed by vibrant local businesses. We want to be the first zero waste tourism destination in Mexico!
We are working to create the first zero waste tourism destination in Mexico through our 5 program pillars: Community Engagement, School Engagement, Waste Reduction, Waste Separation, and Organic Waste Management
