society is replaced with Circular Economy strategies. <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/our-programs\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Here&rsquo;s how we&rsquo;ll get there<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Theory of Change<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eco-Cycle&rsquo;s work is to transform <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the &ldquo;norm&rdquo; from societies built on using and abusing our resources, to creating Zero Waste communities. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are pioneers innovating, implementing, and advocating for what&rsquo;s possible in a Zero Waste future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We work in collaborative partnerships within every sector of the local community&mdash;residents, businesses, nonprofits, schools, government&mdash;to develop and prove Zero Waste solutions in Boulder County. We then spread this model&mdash;as quickly and as broadly as possible&mdash;to other communities, and provide them with the policies, programs, infrastructure, and communications tools needed to replicate our Zero Waste successes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal is to create a critical mass of communities demonstrating and proving the model, while also advocating for state and national policies that more quickly magnify this change at a broader scale, fostering circularity throughout our local, national, and global economies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Putting Theory into Action<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eco-Cycle organizes and empowers local communities to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Change the rules<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by advocating for policies and programs such as Universal Zero Waste Ordinances, Pay-As-You-Throw curbside collections, or requiring Producer Responsibility for corporations&rsquo; products;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Change the infrastructure\/system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by establishing facilities and services such as recycling and composting centers, and reuse systems that minimize waste before it is created;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Change the conversation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by sharing success stories and a larger vision of what is possible;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Change the culture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through grassroots organizing and engaging people in policymaking, community building, and changing their own lifestyles.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We package and share all of the above as <\/span><b>Zero Waste models<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in order to conserve our natural resources and provide climate solutions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fundamental driver of our work is the fact that Zero Waste solutions are some of the fastest, most cost-effective means by which communities can create immediate and lasting effects against climate change, resource depletion, social injustices related to resource scarcity, and health impacts caused by pollution. We believe that &ldquo;reduce, reuse, and redesign&rdquo; are the foundations of creating a more equitable and regenerative future, followed by recycling, composting, and other Zero Waste solutions as necessary components in building a truly sustainable, circular economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>The Results<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Boulder County<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Since 1976, Eco-Cycle has been innovating, refining, and implementing our <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/our-programs\/boulder-county-model\/\">Zero Waste model in Boulder County<\/a>, introducing first-of-their-kind Zero Waste collections, programs, and facilities. As a result, cities and towns across Boulder County, as well as the County itself, are ever-improving <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zero Waste leaders in our state.

To help turn Colorado from a laggard to a leader, Eco-Cycle has been championing efforts at the state legislature to promote adoption of Zero Waste goals, planning, and funding legislation. Recent legislative successes include passage of: <a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/bills\/sb19-192\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB19-192<\/a>, the Front Range Waste Diversion Enterprise Grant Program, to provide financial and technical support to Front Range communities; <a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/bills\/sb20-055\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB20-055<\/a>, Incentivize Development Recycling End Markets, to establish a center to promote new businesses that use recycled materials; and <a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/bills\/hb21-1162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HB21-1162<\/a>, The Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, which protects Colorado&rsquo;s people, wildlife, and environment by addressing some of the worst single-use disposable plastics. <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/our-programs\/zero-waste-colorado\/\">Learn more<\/a> and get involved in our latest legislative efforts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>National<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Since our beginning, Eco-Cycle has helped shape the national recycling debate and the Zero Waste Movement&mdash;and even the adoption of the term &ldquo;Zero Waste.&rdquo; More recently, Eco-Cycle cofounded the <a href=\"https:\/\/ambr-recyclers.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alliance for Mission-Based Recycling (AMBR)<\/a> in 2019, along with three other nonprofit, mission-based recyclers across the country, to help reclaim recycling from industry greenwashing and to hold plastic producers accountable for the unnecessary pollution they are causing.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please join us in making positive change at the local, state, and national levels! <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/get-involved\/subscribe\/\">Sign up for our newsletters<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocycle.org\/get-involved\/donate\/\">become an Eco-Cycle donor.<\/a><\/p> \n\n                <\/section>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    \n\n<div class=\"impact-programs full-block   \">\n    <div class=\"container text-center\">\n        <div class=\"impact-description\">\n            <h3><\/h3>\n            <h2>IMPACT PROGRAMS<\/h2>\n            <hr\/>\n            <p>More than 40% of our climate impact comes from our &#8220;consumption emissions&#8221;\u2014or how we extract, consume, and dispose of our stuff and our food.
