I’m curious about what zero waste really means in a practical, everyday sense—especially in cities like San Francisco that are making big pushes toward this goal. What are some successful strategies they’ve used, and what challenges have they encountered along the way? I’m interested in learning from their experience to see how similar approaches might work in other communities. Has anyone here been involved in or followed any local initiatives modeled after SF’s zero waste efforts? Also, what are some creative, small-scale ideas for reducing waste that might move us closer to that ideal?
