WHAT WE DO
We believe that everything we do has an impact on the Earth: good and bad. Our work is to create change leaders through programming that facilitates a democratic learning process to understand our waste and consumption patterns so we can begin building better ways of living with the Earth.
EDUCATION
We strive to connect people to the process of building a future for all members of our community: One that is environmentally beneficial, healthy, equitable, and compassionate.
COMMUNITY
CLP engages and supports youth, educators, and communities to innovate ways of changing waste and consumption patterns.
Our goal is to create a world where everyone is an active participant in their own consumption.
Imagine an entire school producing almost no waste. Imagine designing a system to recapture waste as a resource. Imagine youth creating the change.

Our Nearly Zero Project is a toolkit to get whole schools walking on the path to changing the culture of waste in their buildings and believing in their students to lead it.
