My Garbage Exposed - Zéro Déchet (zero waste)

San Francisco is a hotbed of culture, talent, technology, startups and happens to have an exceptional garbage program through Recology. During the summer I was asked to be a part of a segment for French TV, BFMTV in preparation for the COP21. They asked to see how a typical home in San Francisco recycles, composts and how very little garbage we have.

Here is the link to see the segment (there is a commercial in the beginning):

The segment was broadcast in France just before all the horrific happenings in Paris. Guillaume, the journalist, who came to our home was impacted by the shooting as he lives in the neighborhood that was targeted. He is saddened by the events but even more so since the environmental issues are having to take a backseat to the terrorism issues. Hopefully the COP21 will be a success for all the countries involved.

Our family was happy to share our home with the journalists that came and was happy to serve them some locally sourced food and a small piece of life in San Francisco. Currently Recology (SF waste management) is about at 80% and is working towards zero waste (no landfills). For more information on the program visit: http://www.recology.com

Cheers to Paris and Cheers to a successful COP21 and zero déchet!
