Clean Water Fund

Clean Water Fund surveyed Alameda County, CA restaurants that had previously adopted reusable options through the ReThink Disposable source reduction process. Core values around sustainability remain strong, however there is a clear need to educate both food operators and the public that reusables are just as safe as disposables .

With a grant from the California Ocean Protection Council, ReThink Disposable partnered with the City of Alameda to create a model for “unpackaging a city.”

A lo largo de 2019, nuestros programas defendieron las protecciones esenciales del medio ambiente y de salud, al tiempo que fortalecieron la base de personas que se preocupan por nuestra agua y quieren verla protegida — ahora y para las futuras generaciones. Continuamos sentando las bases para revertir lo peor de los recortes y reversiones extremos propuestos por los contaminadores y sus aliados en el gobierno. Juntos, podemos restaurar el compromiso histórico de nuestra nación con el agua apta para pescar, nadar y beber.

Throughout 2019, our programs defended essential environmental and health protections, while strengthening the grassroots base of people who care about our water and want to see it protected — now and for future generations. We continue to lay the groundwork to reverse the worst of the extreme cuts and rollbacks advanced by polluters and their allies in government. Together, we can restore our nation’s historic commitment to fishable, swimmable, drinkable water.

ReThink Disposable & Clean Water Action/Clean Water Fund have released a timely guide for restaurants seeking to keep customers safe while at the same time honoring our commitment to the planet.
