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.

4,500 attendees over the first three years generated less than 24 pounds of trash collectively. Next year we hope to set out sights even higher (or lower in this case) to make Wishes for the Sky a 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!
