Appalachia Ohio Zero Waste Initiative - Changing the Way We Think About Waste

In Southeastern Ohio, a unique partnership is working to transform the way that communities think about what they are throwing away – and finding value in the process. The Appalachia Ohio Zero Waste Initiative (AOZWI) collaborates with communities to build local wealth and environmental health by increasing waste diversion and supporting the development of a zero waste economy. The AOZWI is coordinated by local nonprofit Rural Action and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University and is funded by the Sugar Bush Foundation, a supporting organization of the Ohio University Foundation. Hear how the community is leading its own waste revolution, and learn how you can be a part of the progress!
