The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place. Making a new product requires a lot of materials and energy - raw materials must be extracted from the earth, and the product must be fabricated then transported to wherever it will be sold. As a result, reduction and reuse are the most effective ways you can save natural resources, protect the environment, and save money. To receive 1 service hour to the nation credit, please send a funny selfie of you and your reusable product such as bowls, plates, to-go containers, utensils, straws, and etc to service@aphiooz. If you are interested in chairing an event, please mention in the comments that you're interested in chairing and reach out to Vivian and Celine once the event is over. From there, we will send you the information needed for a chairsheet.
