Waste Free OC, Save Room for Tomorrow–RIESTER designs and delivers new website for Orange County, California.
Orange County, California has one of the highest recycling rates in the nation. Yet even in a place where people recycle at high rates, Orange County is using its landfill space quickly. In addition to recycling, citizens need to change their habits to reduce the amount of waste they create. Such behavioral changes, spread throughout the county, can dramatically increase the life of the local landfills.
RIESTER is proud to work with Orange County on this important issue. There are many actions people can take to help, including: Increasing the use of reusable containers, composting, not requesting ATM receipts, cutting back on the amount of mail received, taking reusable bags to the store and many more. We are Brand Activists for a Waste Free OC.
A movement exists, endorsed by the state of California, to promote the concept of Zero Waste. By reducing and reusing materials that we habitually send to the landfill, it is possible to reach the goal of Zero Waste. En route to that important goal, Orange County is promoting a campaign to reduce waste generated by each household by 10%. A 10% reduction county-wide will be a huge step in the quest for Zero Waste.
The new website gives the citizens of Orange County the resources they need to reach these goals. It is well known in circles of people knowledgeable about waste management issues that Americans generate far too much trash. It has been a privilege to assist Orange County by creating the first phase of its new website. This site will greatly assist residents in finding resources to cut back on what they send to the landfill.
Let’s save room for tomorrow at all landfills.
