Zero waste is not actually optional

At Blackwell and Sons, we are making 2021 the year we refine everything we do so that waste disappears from our vocabulary. Why would you make anything designed to be thrown away? This is going to take some energy but we'll be focusing on lots of small actions that add up to a big overall impact. Our economy and our planet needs this to happen now.
