Institute for Zero Waste in Africa in Cape Town

Today we attended an informal sharing session in Cape Town hosted by the Institute for Zero Waste in Africa (IZWA). IZWA shared their findings and offered some solutions for some of the problems we face today as a result of unsustainable human practices taking place around the globe. IZWA's charter principles are: "Redesign products and methods of production to eliminate waste by mimicking natural processes and developing closed-loops; Convert waste to resources for the benefits of local production and the creation of a healthy and sustainable society; Resist incineration and land filling in order to promote innovation in resource conservation and methods of production; and Collaborate with others with common interests worldwide" Check out IZWA's website for a list of helpful resource documents and to find out more about the projects they are busy with.
