We’re zero waste consultants that reduce waste and direct companies towards a circular economy. Our 'scret sauce' is creating closed-loop systems that are community-based because zero waste is a collective effort. The tools to create sustainable change must be accessible to everyone, not just those with deep pockets. Being big fans of locally sourced food, we were inspired by the CSA (community supported agriculture) model that farmers have used for decades as an alternative to big-box retailers. We used the CSA model, blended it together with our zero waste framework, and ta-da: community-shared systems was born! COMMUNITY-SHARED SYSTEM (N): the collective access to resources, knowledge, and implementation that create circular procedures and eliminate waste. Community-shared systems reinvent society’s most pressing single-use waste problems. On an individual side: we create zero waste education that is relatable and accessible. We’ve been living zero waste for years and have learned a few things: 1.) You don’t have to spend more money to create less waste. 2.) Zero waste is a practice, not a destination. 'Lettuce' show you how you can learn zero waste behaviors, at any phase in your sustainability journey. A little more about us: We’re a quirky, enthusiastic, and down-to-earth company that wholeheartedly loves what we do. We love being outside and it’s not unusual for us to work anywhere we can get an internet signal. Pre-pandemic you’d find us setting up zero waste systems and picking up litter at some of your favorite music festivals. We’ve continued to challenge the trashy status quo through organizational culture consulting and online education. Waste Free Earth is an LGBTQ+ and BIPoC led company. We’re a 100% women and disability-owned and operated small business based in Burlington, Vermont.
