    Please be mindful and aware of the appropriate place for each item.  Each of the Bins will be posted with signs that specify what belongs in them. PLEASE! pack-out any items that you brought in to the event that cannot be composted or recycled.
    PLEASE!! DO NOT place non-compostable materials into the compost bins.  This will contaminate the contents and cause the entire bin to be rejected and would have to be sent to a landfill…which is what we are working so hard to avoid.
    WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR COLABORATION IN MAKING THIS A ZERO WASTE EVENT.
     
    ESTA ES UNA ZONA DE “CERO BASURA”
    Por favor este consciente del lugar apropiado para cada cosa.  Cada uno de los botes especifican que les pertenece.
    POR FAVOR! Lo que usted traiga de afuera si no es compostable o reciclado, por favor lléveselo consigo.  POR FAVOR! NO PONGA ningún material que no sea biodegrable o reciclable en el tanque de “compost” (convertible en abono orgánico).  Esto contaminaría el material y causa que todo el bote sea rechazado y se va tener que desechar... y es lo que estamos trabajando duro para que no pase. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR COLABORAR EN HACER ESTE EVENTO CERO BASURA.
     
    ABOUT/ ACERCA de
     
    WHAT IS A ZERO WASTE EVENT? It is simply recycling, which
    includes composting all of the materials generated from the event.
    By doing this, we can significantly reduce the amount of solid
    waste that is harmful to the environment and therefore need to be disposed of in a landfill.  This includes Styrofoam, some plastic and
    all other non-recyclable materials.
     
     
     

    CERO BASURA: Es simplemente la habilidad de reciclar y compostar toda la basura generada en el evento.  Haciendo esto, significativamente podemos reducir el tamaño de basura sólida que daña nuestro medio ambiente y sólo podemos deshacernos de esta basura en el Basurero.  Esto incluye el Styrofoam, algunos plásticos y todos los materiales que no sean reciclables.
     
    ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONS:  Basically, there are two solutions- 1) always use your own plates, utensils, cloth napkins and refillable containers or 2) use products that are 100% biodegradable and compostable. 
    All of the to-go containers, utensils and cups at this event are made of corn, sugarcane pulp and/or potatoes.  The paper hot cups are lined with a bio-coating.  All these items can be placed in the compost bins along with food scraps and napkins.
     
    CERO BASURA SOLUCIONES: Básicamente hay dos soluciones-
    1) use nada mas vajilla que es re-usable (que no se tira), de platos, a tenedores y cucharas, servilletas de manta, y tazas. 
    2) Use vajilla para llevar que es solamente 100% Biogradable y Compostable.
    Toda la vajilla para llevar en este a evento son echas de maíz, bagazo de caña y/o papas.  Las tazas para llevar café están aliñadas de un Bio-coat (Quiere decir que es natural).
     
    COMPOST:  it’s a means of turning waste into a nutrient for the soil.  All food scraps and biodegradable containers can be thrown into a composter and the end product can be used in your garden.
     
    COMPOSTO:  ES LA BASURA QUE SE PUEDE CONVERTIR EN ABONO ORGANICO. Todos los retazos de toda clase de comida y la vajilla que es biodegrable se pueden echar al compostor y lo que se produce
    se puede usar en su jardín… en la tierra para sembrar.
