The Zero Waste Party

On 12/15/10, Columbia College Chicago students threw what they called a Zero Waste Party to promote eco-friendly practices. The students, enrolled in a course called Citizen Designer, hosted the party/exhibition about sustainability and waste. Throughout the space, there were documentary projections about the effects of waste, demonstrations on composting and ways to reduce and reuse waste around the house, as well as recycling demonstrations using the very posters and materials used to promote the event. Food was provided, waste-free of course, as well as free prizes and giveaways. Absolutely nothing from the party contributed to landfills.
