zero waste

This experience taught me something beyond just saving money. By choosing to repair instead of replace, I made a more sustainable choice that helped reduce electronic waste.

The collaboration between Clean Water Action’s team, the United Church of Chester, and the Cedar Lake Triathlon Series replaced disposable cups and plastic water bottles with reusable cups and silicone water bottles, resulting in a reduction of roughly 200 disposable cups and 20 plastic bottles per race from the trash. Throughout a season, that adds up quickly.
