The Crested Butte Climate Action Plan anticipates that if we do nothing to reduce our waste in this community, greenhouse gas emissions from our landfill will grow 19% between 2017 and 2030, the second biggest growth of the five key sectors outlined in the plan. In a community that thrives on the vibrancy of our special events, especially in the summertime, reducing the waste produced by those events is key to keeping our emissions in check.
In the first 4 years of offering our Waste-Free Events program, our event partners diverted over 70,000 single-use waste items from the local landfill. While this program started to provide affordable reusable materials as an alternative to disposable items at events, we are expanding to offer assistance for planning zero-waste events in the Gunnison Valley.
