Community

Waste for Life is built on partnerships

Our Waste for Life partners comprise an international network of people who pool their talents and resources to develop inventive, community driven, needs-based technologies. We freely disseminate those technologies and apply them where we can to help redress the social and ecological injustices that disproportionately affect people who live on society’s margins.

Our network is eclectic and cooperative because we know that problems know no disciplinary boundaries.

As Ashokline Thayalan continues to improve the fire retardancy of our waste plastic/natural fibre roofing tiles in his laboratory at Jaffna University, we have some exciting news coming to us from our US project, Standing People Together: we've partnered with Sullivan West Elementary School's PTSO to offer Autumn 2019 and Spring 2020 after-school forest exploratorium sessions for grades 1-3, and will continue Saturday sessions at Cala Munda this fall as well. Funding for the Autumn after-school program has just been awarded to us by Healthy Community Initiatives Grant from Sullivan Renaissance in recognition of the holistic health benefits our forest exploratorium offers local school children. ...

Congratulations to Randika, our Sri Lanka Project Partner and Coordinator, who helped organize this symposium. The opening quotation from David Orr's 2005 book, Ecological Literacy: Educating Our Children for a Sustainable World, couldn't be more pertinent as the world hurls toward self-devouring destruction. In the same book, Orr also writes that the goal of ecological literacy is “built on the recognition that the disorder of ecosystems reflects a prior disorder of mind, making it a central concern to those institutions that purport to improve minds. In other words, the ecological crisis is in every way a crisis of education.... All education is environmental education… by what is included or excluded we teach the young that they are part of or apart from the natural world.” This is exactly what motivated us to develop WFL's newest program, Standing People Together, in it's US home.
