I 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱 "𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚: 𝘽𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝, 𝙂𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙢, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙."

This 12-week online course is specifically designed for female sustainability professionals and recent sustainability grads who want to start their own consulting business.

I know what keeps so many women stuck, because I was there, myself:
🔥 The burnout of corporate life.
📉 The frustration of being undervalued.
💡 The weight of building someone else’s dream instead of your own.
😬 The fear that starting a business is too overwhelming or too risky.

But, I also know what happens when you say 𝗬𝗘𝗦 to yourself:
1️⃣ You start building a business that reflects your core values.
2️⃣ You create more freedom in your schedule and your life.
3️⃣ You gain a path to stronger income and greater independence.
4️⃣ You begin turning your sustainability expertise into real consulting work.

From setting up your business legally and packaging your services to charging what you're worth and attracting your first clients, this self-paced course guides you from uncertainty to action, with personalized support every step of the way.

Look, you don't need to wait for the perfect moment. You don't need to stay in a role that drains you. You don't need permission to make a life-changing shift. And you certainly don't need to figure it out alone.

Our next cohort begins on June 1st and we would love to have you join us! If you're depleted from the 9-to-5 grind and want to set your own rules, then select one of the following options below.👇

Big thanks to Waste Advantage magazine for covering our client's certification! On April 30th, Texas Disposal Systems announced its newly minted certification as the City of Austin’s only “Qualified Processor” for construction & demolition (C&D) materials recycling.

Serving as the only city-approved, third-party “Qualified Processor Evaluator,” Zero Waste Strategies, LLC validated the waste diversion data claimed by TDS in an independent audit verifying the numbers. Through this process, we confirmed the facility’s 𝟲𝟳.𝟯𝟳% 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲, which is well above the fifty percent minimum requirement stated in the Austin C&D Debris Recycling Ordinance, which affects properties of 5,000 sq. ft. or more.

Contractors managing projects affected under this ordinance can now trust they are in compliance when they use the TDS facility to process C&D debris.

Just got back from the 3rd Annual Zero Waste Forum in Park City and I’m still feeling energized from it all! I spoke on the “Women in Circularity” panel with MaryEllen Etienne and Lisa Puckett, where we talked about the ABC’s of Zero Waste—accountability, behavior change, and compliance. Such a great discussion!

Some key takeaways:
🍎 Addressing food waste is the biggest needle-mover in the US to usher in the Circular Economy.

🧒 The youth in the Zero Waste movement are demonstrating a clear vision and action-oriented path that emboldens them to lead with conviction.

⚖️ Environmental justice is not a catch phrase. It's a dedicated playbook used by thousands of communities across the globe to demand accountability for human rights and quality of life.

There’s something special about being in a room full of people who are not just talking about change, but are actively building it. I had so many great conversations, made new connections, and was filled with fresh inspiration from people truly doing the work.

Grateful to be part of this community. 💚

✊ Today is and it is rooted in the fight for workers’ rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. While it’s often associated with factories and industrial labor, its legacy also runs deep in the waste, recycling, and landfill industries, too.

♻️ For decades, sanitation workers, sorters, landfill operators, and recycling facility staff have done some of the most physically demanding and essential work in our communities, often without the visibility, protections, or pay they deserve.

From early union efforts to modern-day organizing, these workers have pushed for safer equipment, fair schedules, healthcare access, and dignity on the job.

Let’s be clear: without them, there is no , no , no sustainability movement. Every waste reduction and recycling milestone we celebrate is built on labor and the quality of life demands by organized unions.

💪 So today, as we talk about systems and sustainability, let’s also talk about the people behind them and continue advocating for stronger labor protections, equitable pay, and safer conditions across the waste sector.

A truly sustainable sanitation system thrives only when there is justice for the workers who keep it running.
