Reach for Zero Waste Asheville


Reach for Zero Waste Asheville: I got a notice in the mail the other day. It is the kind of notice I can get excited about! Good News from  the Sustainability Outreach Program at the City of Asheville Office of Sustainability. We are going to be seeing new collection buckets on trash/recycling day!! YES!!!


As part of: the public education for Reach for Zero, Asheville: Zero Waste AVL the brand new recycling program and waste reduction efforts, zero waste concepts and tools, and what citizens can do to “Reach for Zero,” Laura Piraino, Sustainability Specialist will be joining the get-together at Green Drinks to share more about this effort.


It should be an interesting evening, given Laura's wealth of knowledge. . . 

Laura 's knowledge is deep:  Beside her work for Reach for Zero Waste Asheville, her background includes program development for sustainability outreach education and marketing, and the Blue Ridge Sustainability Institute, The Sierra Club, Penn State University Center for Sustainability,

as well as offered services through her own consulting firm, Post Carbon Services of Asheville, LLC.

Asheville NC- Mountain Homes and Land- For Sale- ECO Asheville Style

Let's say you are an eco-minded person. Eco-innovation,  energy efficiencyWaterfall at Three Creeks ECO Community, Lake Lure NC, true-green-built homes, water conservation, and the creation of economic opportunities for the local communities excites you. You like the concept of thoughtful land planning, so the land surrounding the neighborhood in which you live could be (if it already  hasn't been ) placed into  a  conservation trust.

Then you might like the idea of investing in a community (like one of which I am very fond near Asheville, NC) where ecological land use means carefully, and over a period of years carving out picnic spots and compelling trails for  horse-friendly members of the community and for hikers.

Along the way, through the mountain laurels and up to the higher elevations, you will appreciate the preservation of the acreage around waterfalls (see photo taken at Three Creeks Preserve) and that all of this is to be done with as little impact on the environment as possible.
