Zero Waste

The Aspen Ideas Festival Green Team has established recycling and compost stations throughout our campus. In past years, this initiative recovered 51,000 pounds of materials through recycling and composting, and saved 129,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions. Please help us continue working toward zero waste by paying close attention to your waste, recycling, and composting over the course of the Festival.
