About us

XR Zero Waste was born of a desire to help bring about a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the waste sector and significant improvements in true resource recovery and material efficiency. We are volunteers who cut our teeth opposing the construction of an incinerator in north London. That campaign helped us to recognise that our concerns are shared by others across the UK (and beyond), and that there is a need for action at the national policy level.

Extinction Rebellion is a politically non-partisan international movement that uses non-violent direct action to persuade governments to act justly on the Climate and Ecological Emergency. More information can be found at: https://extinctionrebellion.uk/the-truth/demands/
