Mission: Zero waste event!
Landfill should be a thing of the past just like disposable plastics.
San Francisco plans to be zero waste by 2020, that's why we are STRIVING to make bastille day a zero waste and low single use plastics day. and we need every participant's help to achieve our goal!
Bastille day is right in the middle of "plastic free july"
It's a worldwide movement that has started in Western Australia in 2011. The goal is to encourage people to be more aware of their disposable plastics use. Part of this involves supporting behavior change and helping others #choosetorefuse shopping bags, straws, takeaway containers and coffee cups

What we've planned for bastille day
- 15 recycling stations with signage to know what to do with your waste: recycling, compost or trash
- a team of volunteers and our partner Green Mary will assist visitors at the stations
- a zero waste booth by our partner fillgood where you can learn more about zero waste & plastic free living
- no plastic water bottles, no plastic straws: water will be served by the glass, just like wine and beer. visitors will be able to refill their glasses
- most of our Food vendors will use compostable food service ware
- food leftovers will be donated to food runners and delivered to a suitable feeding program in San Francisco
