Wishes for the Sky is a Zero Waste Event!

Committed to an inspiring and sustainable Earth Day celebration, Wishes for the Sky is partnering with Eureka Recycling, a local non-profit waste reduction organization, to make Wishes for the Sky "waste-free." That's right--through careful planning and the participation of everyone involved, our celebration can generate no waste through reduction, recycling, and composting.

Last year, with almost 2,000 participants, we generated only 5 pounds of trash!
This year we hope to set out sights even higher (or lower in this case) to make Wishes for the Sky truly ZERO waste event.

• Please do your part by thinking carefully about the impacts of items that you bring
• Bring beverages in reusable mugs and/or reusable water bottles
• Use cloth napkins, real silverware, and washable dishes from home
• If you need to wrap something, use tin foil (which can be recycled) or wax paper (which can be composted)
• Avoid single serving and over-packaged foods
• If you are getting take-out from a restaurant or deli, bring your own reusable Tupperware for them to fill!
• In general, avoid plastic and Styrofoam

Eureka Recycling believes that waste is preventable, and that Earth Day is every day!
