Pete Seeger, founder of Clearwater Festival |
Clearwater Festival is the environmentalist’s gold standard. Not
only is this gathering, founded by the legendary Pete Seeger, the largest
annual environmental celebration in the United States, it received a 2013 Earth
Day Award from Westchester County for its Zero Waste initiatives.
In Zero
Waste, a presentation and potluck at South Presbyterian Church in Dobbs Ferry
on March 16,
MJ Wilson, Zero
Waste Co-Coordinator of Clearwater Festival, shares for the first time how Clearwater
Festival successfully diverted over 15 tons of materials from going into the waste
stream over the last three years.
“Clearwater Festival's zero waste success is a wonderful testament to Toshi Seeger’s
vision back in the 1970s, a shift in perspective, and purposeful planning,”
says MJ.
“We really began to make process when we stopped thinking ‘garbage
cans’ and started saying ‘zero waste centers’ for the separate collection of
recyclable materials, organics, and trash.”
A unique advance made by Clearwater Festival is sending their organic
waste to Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority, where it is composted
and added to sewage sludge for roadway plantings.
Irvington resident MJ Wilson uses Clearwater Festival’s
zero-waste success as a comprehensive example of what is possible at much
smaller home and community events. Using their practices of reusable service
ware, collecting organics and informed recycling, she shares a practical
waste-reduction plan tailored to resources everyday people have access to in
Westchester county.

Zero Waste Potluck is also its own test case. Bring food to
share, and your own utensils. “Let’s see how close to zero waste we can be,” says
MJ. This Zero Waste event includes a roundtable discussion with Elisa Zazzera and Lakis Polycarpou of Nature Cycle Organics who
are developing a communal composting facility within reach.
