The Riverwind Foundation and JH Reuse are excited to announce a partnership to support Teton County’s Road to Zero Waste.
JH Reuse facilitates creative reuse opportunities for everyday items that would otherwise go straight to the landfill such as egg cartons, bottle caps, toilet paper rolls and much more.
These items are in demand in local classrooms, arts education, food rescue, farms, small construction, and among those working to minimize waste and source sustainably. Meeting this need with materials from the community, from what would otherwise be thrown away, limits landfill deposits and inspires appreciation and innovation when it comes to the materials in our daily lives.
For many potential reusers and zero wasters, the difficulty in accessing this type of closed loop supply chain is the time, space, and energy it takes to locate, transport, and store the materials. JH Reuse is dedicated to making this easier. We provide the coordination, transportation, and storage space to make these exchanges happen and ensure that reusables are recovered and made available on demand.
JH Reuse joins Straw Free Jackson Hole as a fiscally-sponsored program of the Riverwind Foundation.
About The Award-Winning Jackson Hole & Yellowstone Sustainable Destination Program
In collaboration with government agency, business, and nonprofit sustainability stakeholders and local schools, the Riverwind Foundation is coordinating a program to strengthen and unify the programs, policies, and practices for environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic vitality in Teton County, Wyoming. The Riverwind Foundation and Jackson Hole were selected by the World Travel & Tourism Council as a Destination Finalist in the 2018 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards, National Geographic as a Destination Leadership Finalist in the 2017 World Legacy Awards, and by Green Destinations as a Top 100 Sustainable Destination in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
The Town of Jackson and Teton County passed a resolution in April 2017 for “Jackson Hole to be a world-leading sustainable community and destination” and support initiatives that “contribute to the fulfillment of community goals and destination standards for environmental, social, and economic sustainability” and “find solutions to prevent, mitigate, and manage the increasing environmental and community impacts of visitation in order to protect the integrity of our environment and community upon which the health of our economy and quality of life is dependent.”
