Hi!
We are Magda and Martí
We founded Go Zero Waste to promote the circular economy and sustainability to people of all ages.
At Go Zero Waste, we believe that environmental education is an essential part of shaping the adults of tomorrow. Today’s children are not responsible for the present they are living in.
It is our responsibility to give them the necessary tools to create a better future together, based on regeneration, respect, and connection with the Planet, our shared home.
