Nick Scott: Zero Waste Businesses Google Map

-
Zero waste shopping can be challenging, however we have some helpful resources at our finger tips including this Zero Waste Businesses Google Map that Nick Scott recently developed that can empower us to face this challenge.



We want to be able to create a positive shift in our lives, we want to have healthy relations with our environment. This is a helpful user-friendly Google map; anyone with gmail can easily add a business to the list of businesses who have started taking action to cut down on single-use plastic.

So please check it out, share, or add to the listing. Keep the buzz going, and our hats off in thanks to Nick Scott, for his initiative and bringing driving momentum to the zero waste movement.
