Alianza Cero Basura has been named a Key Player in both the Compost and Waste Nothing Nexi of Paul Hawken’s Regeneration Nexus system. Please check out their call to action and links:

Compost:
Regeneration’s call to action:
“Separate and compost organic materials to reduce the strain on landfills, reduce methane emissions, regenerate soil, and grow healthy food.

• Composting utilizes the natural process of decomposition to turn organic materials, such as plant matter, food, and animal waste, into a carbon-rich natural fertilizer that can be used in gardens, farms, and rangelands. Composting reduces greenhouse gas emissions by diverting food and plant waste that is often incinerated or sent to landfills. It can also replace synthetic fertilizers, decreasing the use of harmful chemicals on farms. Composting has been practiced for centuries by Indigenous peoples and traditional communities and is a central componentof regenerative farming and gardening. Compost’s rich mixture of microorganisms and nutrients can significantly improve soil and plant health, with cascading benefits for human and animal well-being.”
  

Wasting Nothing:
Regeneration’s call to action:
“Eliminate 80 percent of food waste to feed more people using fewer resources on less land.

• Nearly 40% of all food produced on farms never reaches our mouths. Losses occur on the way to the store or through waste by food retailers, restaurants, and consumers. On a per-capita basis, much more food is wasted in the developed world than in developing countries, mostly in homes. In North America, two-thirds of food loss and waste occurs at the consumer stage. Because food is an everyday part of our lives, and losses occur all along the supply chain, each of us has a role to play in ending food waste.”
